Manchester United has reached a resolution to send Mason Greenwood on loan for the upcoming season following the dropping of his case earlier this year in February.
Greenwood has been away from competitive action for more than 15 months after he was arrested and arraigned in court on the grounds of sexual assault and coercive behaviour.
He was suspended indefinitely by the club, but after the Crown Prosecution Services dropped his case, it was thought he could make a quick comeback.
Manchester United opted against rushing the decision, promising to conduct their own internal investigations before providing a way forward. It is now understood that the club has decided to send the 21-year-old striker out on loan next season.
The Daily Mail reports that Spain, Italy or Turkey have been identified as potential targets. The other options include releasing the player should investigations reveal that he brought disrepute to the club.
His likely return has in the past been reported to be the cause of disharmony, especially among Manchester United’s Women’s team.
Serie A giants AC Milan are understood to be among the clubs interested in the striker, who has two years remaining on his current deal.
A chance to move abroad could offer him an opportunity to revitalise his career. AC Milan will be in the market for new strikers, with the likes of Olivier Giroud approaching the end of his career. Zlatan Ibrahimovic has since retired, while Divock Origi is yet to impress fully.
