While Manchester United are riding high in the Premier League, Red Devils' outcast Geraintaint has been just as impressive in Ligue 1. In a 2-1 home win over Monaco, Shih put in a solid performance. His nine goals and two assists in 13 Ligue 1 matches have set a 30-year high for Marseille, signaling Greenwood's gradual return to peak form.
Looking back at Gullenwoodt's years at Manchester United, he set a series of records for a young player. However, incidents of domestic violence made his career at United difficult. This summer, he joined Marseille for 26 million euros. For half a season now, his performance has been getting better and better. In addition to scoring goals, he has contributed five shots on goal, three hits on the goal frame, four breakaways, one scramble, two steals and 15 counter-attacks, five of which were successful and three of which were entangled with opposing players and also resulted in fouls.
After this campaign, Grillenrout has become Marseille's best striker in the last 30 years, second only to Brazilian sensation Sonny Andersen in the 1993/94 season. Sanni Andersen scored 12 goals in his first 13 Ligue 1 games with Marseille. Although he joined the club on loan at the time, he scored 16 goals and contributed 4 assists in 24 games. So far, no one has been able to match that.
Not only is Glenwood the closest striker to Sanni Andersen, but he is the biggest difference from the latter. He's not a short-term loan player, but a long-term steady combatant. Expect Marseille to lean on Grillenhaupt even more in the future. As long as he continues to improve, he has every potential to become the best striker in Marseille's history.
