Mason Greenwood revels in Marseille beating Aston Villa after Tyrone Mings scrap
Mason Greenwood came off worse in his clash with Tyrone Mings but was celebrating Marseille's win over Aston Villa after the heated pre-season contest. The former Manchester United forward scored in his team's 3-1 win over Villa on Saturday, although it was his bust-up with Mings and Amadou Onana which really caught the eye. Greenwood put in a pathetic kick to the back of Onana's leg after the Villa man had passed the ball, much to the anger of Belgium international. The Marseille man then started shoving Onana and laughing in his face, with Mings stepped in and exerting his physical dominance over Greenwood, with the striker looking more than a little worried about the defender's arrival on the scene. Greenwood was left with a ripped shirt from the encounter, which was not something you see too often in a friendly before the season gets underway.

The 23-year-old will feel he got the last laugh, though, as he scored in a 3-1 victory for the French side at the Stade Velodrome. Greenwood posted four pictures of himself during the win on Instagram after the match and a clip of his goal, which came from a Mings mistake. The Villa centre-back really should have cut out a long ball, only to fluff his first touch, allow Greenwood to pounce, round the goalkeeper and score. Former Arsenal and Chelsea striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals off the bench to complete the win for the home team.

Mason Greenwood And Tyrone Mings Get Into Heated Scuffle in Marseille Vs Villa Friendly
Last Updated: An ugly quarrel broke out between the sides as Greenwood swung his leg at Amadou Onana in a challenge from behind following which Mings intervened. Marseille star Mason Greenwood and Aston Villa defender Tyrone Mings got into a scuffle during the pre-season friendly between the sides at the Stade Velodrome in France on Saturday. Greenwood starred in his side's 3-1 triumph over the Premier League outfit on the day as he got his name on the scoresheet and also set up one of teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's brace of goals. Tyrone Mings going at Mason Greenwood today…😬 — Football Away Days (@FBAwayDays) August 9, 2025 Marseille were cruising against Unai Emery and Co. before an ugly quarrel broke out between the sides as Greenwood swung his leg at Amadou Onana in a challenge from behind. Onana squared up to the Englishman as the duo pushed each other before Mings stopped play, picked the ball up and intervened. Mings went on to manhandle the former Manchester United player before the 23-year-old was left with a tattered jersey. However, it was Greenwood who had the last laugh as Marseille played their oppositions on the day out of the park with a clinical display under the stewardship of Roberto De Zerbi. Marseille finished the 2024/25 season of Ligue 1 in second place with 65 points to their name in 34 outings, coming in second only to champions PSG, who also went on to clinch their maiden UEFA Champions League title Luis Enrique. PSG emulated Marseille's feat of winning the prestigious European competition to put their name up in lights. Villa, on the other hand, finished sixth in the English top-flight with 66 points to book their place in the UEFA Europa League, as they narrowly missed out on a UCL spot despite competing for the coveted top-bracket finish for a majority of the season. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tyrone Mings signs new Aston Villa contract through to 2027
Tyrone Mings has signed a new contract at Aston Villa to keep him at the club until 2027. Mings, who was set to enter the final 12 months of his existing deal, has signed a new one-year extension at Villa. The Athletic reported last month that contract talks were scheduled with the defender, who was keen to remain at the club having joined from Bournemouth in 2019. Advertisement This season, Mings has played through the pain barrier after making his long-awaited return from a second anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and defying expectations from doctors that he would miss more than two months following another knee injury sustained against West Ham United in January. In the end, he returned inside four weeks, risking his own health in the resulting matches. The England international's return from injury has contributed to what manager Unai Emery described as 'fantastic form', with Villa winning six of the previous eight games he had started and keeping four clean sheets. Earlier this year, Mings assumed a role on the board of directors for Euro 2028, which will be hosted in the United Kingdom but has no plans to retire soon. In total, the 32-year-old made 21 appearances across all competitions last season and is a valued leader by Emery. Mings will continue to provide competition for Pau Torres for a starting berth as Villa's left-sided centre-back. ()
