Mason Greenwood and Manchester United have mutually decided that he will leave the Premier League team in the near future. This comes after the internal inquiry conducted by the club has been completed. The unexpected U-turn follows online outrage that saw the club receive criticism from fans about the possibility of Greenwood returning.
” It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.” the club statement read.
After being detained, the striker was given a suspension and hasn’t played for the team since January 2022. On Tuesday, United was prepared to make the announcement that he was joining the team again.
However, there has been a backlash on social media since that information surfaced, which has shocked the Manchester United administration. But in February of last year, the attempted rape, assault, and coercive control accusations against Mason Greenwood were dismissed.
Speaking with pertinent parties and stakeholders has been a part of United’s internal process, which is being managed by the CEO Richard Arnold. Early in February, it was reported that opinions among club employees were divided about whether Greenwood should be permitted to continue working there.

With time, that division has not changed. It is said that a sizable percentage of the personnel was quite disgruntled about the possibility of Greenwood playing for the club once more. While others argued that a player who joined at the age of seven and had never been charged with a crime owed them a duty of care. The staff had anticipated that Greenwood would be permitted to stay on at United.
United had planned to unveil something prior to their opening Premier League match. They put off deciding whether to carry on with the consultation. Plans called for including the England Women’s World Cup players who advanced to Sunday’s championship game.
The Glazer family owns United, but they gave Arnold the authority to make the choice. He oversaw an executive committee that also had Patrick Stewart, the head of law, and Collette Roche, the chief operations officer.
The panel’s study included a review of comparable incidents in the sports, news, music, media, and entertainment industries. Greenwood has made one appearance for England and has played 129 times for United, scoring 35 goals.
