Mason Greenwood made his Marseille debut against Reims on Saturday .

The winger was accused of abusing a woman and attempting to coerce her into sex.

The video surfaced 2 years ago and showed a man, alleged at the time to be Greenwood , abusing the woman.

The question is whether the character of the man can ever truly be separated from the toxicity of the circus he has left behind.

Wissam Ben Yedder was allowed to continue as Monaco ’s highest earner last year even after being formally charged with rape, attempted rape and sexual assault.

Mayor of Marseille Benoit Mayan , the mayor of the city, lacerated Greenwood 's move to the city so savagely. “I believe he cannot have a place on this team. Can you imagine, violence against women? It's a disgrace”.

Greenwood was involved in all five goals in Marseille 's 5 -0 win over Brest .

Greenwood has been linked with a move to Marseille from Marseille .

The midfielder is preparing to switch his international allegiance from England to Jamaica .

Greenwood 's stock has fallen at home but the ends always justify the means.
