Man Utd in last stage of making a Mason Greenwood’s decision


Manchester United are
currently in the “final stages” of reaching a conclusion regarding Mason Greenwood’s future, as announced by the club on Wednesday.

An initial announcement from United was anticipated before the commencement of the season, but its timing has been postponed.

After criminal charges against Greenwood were dismissed in February, the club initiated its own inquiry, which has now concluded.

A statement issued by United on Wednesday read: “Following the dropping of all charges against Mason Greenwood in February 2023, Manchester United has conducted a thorough investigation into the allegations made against him.

“This has drawn on extensive evidence and context not in the public domain, and we have heard from numerous people with direct involvement or knowledge of the case.

“Throughout this process, the welfare and perspective of the alleged victim have been central to the club’s inquiries, and we respect her right to lifelong anonymity.

“We also have responsibilities to Mason as an employee, as a young person who has been with the club since the age of seven, and as a new father with a partner.

“The fact-finding phase of our investigation is now complete, and we are in the final stages of making a decision on Mason’s future.”


In January 2022, Greenwood faced an initial arrest on suspicion of rape following the circulation of images and an audio file through social media channels.

As a result, he was placed under suspension from both training and matches by Manchester United. Since a 1-0 victory over West Ham on January 22, 2022, he has not participated in any club matches.

United’s statement continued: “Contrary to media speculation, that decision has not yet been made and is currently the subject of intensive internal deliberation. Responsibility ultimately rests with the Chief Executive Officer.

Once the decision is reached, it will be communicated and comprehensively explained to both the club’s internal and external stakeholders.

This has been a difficult case for everyone associated with Manchester United, and we understand the strong opinions it has provoked based on the partial evidence in the public domain.

“We ask for patience as we work through the final stages of this carefully considered process.”
