Revealed: 'Aston Villa players claim Mason Greenwood SPAT at Amadou Onana', sparking furious clash with Tyrone Mings during feisty pre-season friendly
Mason Greenwood has been accused of spitting at Aston Villa 's Amadou Onana during a heated pre-season clash in France — moments before the former Manchester United striker became involved in a tussle with Tyrone Mings that left the Marseille forward's shirt in tatters. The flashpoint came in the 87th minute of Saturday's pre-season friendly at the Stade Vwlodrome after Greenwood fouled Onana, shoved the midfielder as he got back to his feet and then tangled with Mings. Greenwood's shirt was ripped as the pair grappled. According to The Sun, Villa's players were said to be furious because Greenwood is alleged to have spat at Onana shortly before Mings intervened. Footage appears to show Onana react as if something touched his face, before later complaining to the referee about something, although it is not clear enough to definitively prove Greenwood spat at him. All three players — Greenwood, Mings and Onana — were booked, before Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi swiftly substituted Greenwood. The confrontation capped a bad-tempered finale that also saw De Zerbi and Villa manager Unai Emery clash on the touchline after a late challenge on former Marseille midfielder Boubacar Kamara. It is understood that Villa are not expected to push for further action, and any sanction would depend on whether the referee recorded the alleged spitting in his match report to the French FA. UEFA will not intervene as the fixture was a friendly. Marseille won Saturday's game 3-1 thanks to a second-half brace from Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who struck twice after coming off the bench. Greenwood had earlier opened the scoring before Villa captain John McGinn levelled to make it 1-1 at half-time. The match was billed as a key part of both sides' pre-season preparations, with Marseille looking ahead to their Ligue 1 opener at Rennes on Friday and Villa fine-tuning ahead of facing Newcastle in the Premier League next weekend. Greenwood, 23, has been in prolific form this summer after scoring 22 goals in all competitions last season — his first campaign in France since leaving Manchester United in a £27million deal. He also found the net against Sevilla last weekend and hit a hat-trick against Dutch side Excelsior Maassluis in July. Marseille sporting director Mehdi Benatia moved earlier this month to quash speculation linking Greenwood with a move to Saudi Arabia, insisting: 'Greenwood will stay with us. He is not for sale. We want to keep him and consider him a key part of OM's project for the upcoming season.' Benatia's comments came amid reports that several Saudi Pro League clubs were weighing up bids for the former England international, who has quickly become a central figure for De Zerbi's side. The ex-Brighton boss has publicly praised Greenwood in recent months, describing him in April as 'a natural talent' and insisting he could be remembered 'as one of the best to ever play at the Stade Velodrome.' Greenwood last played for Man United in January 2022, shortly before his arrest on suspicion of rape and assault. He was subsequently charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. But all charges against him were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February 2023 after the withdrawal of key witnesses and new evidence coming to light. He spent the 2023-24 season on loan at Getafe, scoring 10 goals in 36 appearances, before joining Marseille on a permanent basis last summer. United are understood to have inserted a 50 per cent sell-on clause into the agreement.

Mason Greenwood ‘SPAT' at Amadou Onana to spark furious brawl with Tyrone Mings in Aston Villa friendly
MASON GREENWOOD allegedly SPAT at Amadou Onana to spark his furious brawl with Tyrone Mings. Marseille forward Greenwood had his shirt shredded by Aston Villa defender Mings during a bust-up in a pre-season clash in France on Saturday night. 9 9 9 9 And SunSport understands disgusted Villa players were raging because Greenwood is claimed to have spat at their £50million club-record signing Onana. Belgium star Onana recoiled, suddenly holding his own face as he turned towards French referee Benoit Millot after Greenwood appeared to spit at him. The 87th-minute flashpoint started when Greenwood hacked Onana to the ground, goaded and then shoved the Villa midfielder, who bounced up off the turf to confront him. England international Mings stepped in just as a grinning Greenwood, 23, seemed to commit the vile act. Greenwood's expression quickly changed as 6ft 5in Mings grabbed his collar and swung him around, with Onana also grappling as the former Manchester United player's shirt was ripped in a melee. Greenwood was booked, along with Mings and Onana, then immediately substituted by Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi. It is unlikely that Greenwood will face action unless the incident was included in ref Millot's report to the French FA. Uefa will not get involved because they have no jurisdiction over the 'friendly'. Villa do not plan to push for any further action to be taken. Unai Emery also squared up to De Zerbi during the powderkeg pre-season clash. Villa boss Emery saw red when Marseille old boy Boubacar Kamara was scythed down by Neal Maupay in injury time. Ex-Man Utd star Ashley Young at centre of huge brawl after controversial late penalty during Birmingham vs Ipswich clash De Zerbi, in charge of Brighton from 2022 to 2024, said: 'Unai complained about my players and I didn't like that. It's up to me to talk to them. 'The match was heated but that's what people came to see. They could have gone to the beach but they came to the Stade Velodrome.' Marseille won 3-1 as former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang netted twice after coming on as a second-half substitute. Greenwood scored the opening goal and laid on another for Aubameyang, with Villa skipper John McGinn having levelled to make it 1-1 at half-time. 9 9 9 9 9

Liverpool boss Arne Slot responds after Diogo Jota tribute ended early at Wembley
Liverpool boss Arne Slot has spoken out after a tribute to Diogo Jota at Wembley was disturbed and the minute silence brought to an early end after it was not respected Arne Slot believes there was no malice intended from the Crystal Palace minority that interrupted the minute silence held in memory of Diego Jota. Wembley paid tribute to the late Liverpool star ahead of the Community Shield but saw the minute's silence brought to a premature end following a disturbance in the crowd. Jota, 28, tragically passed away alongside his younger brother, Andre Silva, after a car accident in Spain. Liverpool's return to competitive action on Sunday marked the first time the Reds have played a game with something on the line since Jota's passing. Tributes were made ahead of the match, with a banner displaying Jota holding the Premier League trophy with his shirt number, 20, in place and a silence set to precede kick-off. But when a small number of Palace fans were heard making a noise, Liverpool supporters responded by booing angrily and referee Chris Kavanagh opted to cut the minute short. TNT Sports commentator Darren Fletcher referenced the incident, and said: "Why on earth there are a certain few inside the stadium who would spoil that moment is absolutely beyond me." Liverpool boss Slot was more forgiving however, with the Dutchman suggested it was all likely the result of misunderstanding. "I don't think this was planned,' Slot said. 'Maybe the fan was not aware of the minute's silence and was happy and tried to cheer for his team, then the Palace fans tried to calm him down and our fans reacted. I don't think they had a bad intention. 'I'm a positive person. I look at the respect paid to Diogo and Andre across the world.' Speaking ahead of the game, Slot ackowledged the difficult summer his team had endured following Jota's passing. The Dutch coach praised his side and the love that has poured out as a result of the tragedy. 'This summer has been a difficult for everybody connected with the club,' he said. 'The passing of Diogo Jota had a big impact on all of us and is something that we are still coming to terms with. "We cannot imagine the pain that Diogo's family, his wife, children and friends are going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward. 'Diogo's passing has had a big impact on us all, but what has been so important has been the love and care shown from the football world, and in particular of course the Liverpool FC community. 'I also want to mention the strength and the courage of my players here. They have found themselves in one of the toughest positions imaginable, but the way they have come together and the way they have conducted themselves, on and off the pitch, is a credit to them and to this football club. "We really couldn't have asked more of the boys, and I am extremely proud of them all." Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.
