Mason Greenwood has opened up on where he sees his future after helping Marseille secure Champions League qualification amid reports the French club could listen to offers for the former Man United forward this summer.
The England international claims he is keen on playing in the European competition with the club and is enjoying his football under head coach Roberto De Zerbi, despite coming in for criticism from the boss at times this season and even being dropped from the starting XI.

What Mason Greenwood said.
Greenwood told reporters: “I hope to be here next year to play in the Champions League. Some players tell me that playing in the Champions League here is something special. It was a very positive season. We achieved all our goals, we qualified for the Champions League.
“I feel better on the right flank. But wherever they want me to play, I’ll do it. If I have to play defence, I’ll do it. What matters is what the coach wants. In the middle of the season, maybe I wasn’t at my best, I probably had some defensive difficulties, but everyone supported me. We realized with the coach that there were things to do in training to resolve these difficulties. We really managed to stay united. But it’s only been one season, it will be better with experience.”
