Manchester United players show concern over the possible return of star
National Daily recalls that Mason Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United in January 2022 after being charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour.
The charges have though been dropped earlier this month, meaning that Greenwood has not been found guilty of any crime.
The 21-year-old will however remain sidelined for at least the remainder of the season as the club conduct an internal investigation into the striker’s behaviour National Daily can confirm.
Meanwhile, the recent report reaching National Daily reveals that members of Manchester United’s women’s team have major concerns over the possibility of Mason Greenwood returning to first-team training.
Greenwood who had denied the charges will not play for United while the internal investigation takes place and has so far not returned to the club’s training base at Carrington.
United’s training base is shared by the men’s and women’s teams with The Times reporting some members of United Women would be unhappy were Greenwood be recalled to first-team training. Female members of club staff would also object to his return.
Greenwood will not play for United until the internal investigations are concluded by the club
Those concerns are shared by members of the men’s squad, while others would have ‘no objections’ given he has not been found guilty of any crimes.
The report also claims United’s commercial partners are ‘concerned’ over the prospect of him being brought back into the fold with Nike having already cut ties with the player.
While there was some confusion over the matter last week after Greenwood added the sportswear giant back to his Instagram bio, they later reiterated ‘Mason Greenwood is no longer a Nike athlete.’
United’s investigation is expected to take several months, effectively ruling out the possibility of Greenwood returning this season.
The striker has two years left on his current contract at Old Trafford with the option to extend that by a further 12 months.
Greenwood made 129 appearances for his boyhood club before being suspended, scoring 35 goals. He made his one and only England appearance in September 2020.
Should United decide to cut ties with the player, either by selling him in the summer or more drastically, terminating his contract, he is said to be considering a move abroad to resume his career.
