Manchester United is currently in the "final stages" of determining the course of action regarding Mason Greenwood's future. As a result of the internal investigation that ensued after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges against him for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm, the 21-year-old has been prohibited from participating in training sessions and matches.
Manchester United made an announcement on January 30 stating that they would not engage in training or participate in any matches until further notice. In a statement released on Wednesday, Manchester United declared that they had conducted a comprehensive investigation into the accusations made against Mason Greenwood, following the dropping of all charges against him in February 2023.
Extensive evidence and confidential information have been considered in this investigation, including input from individuals directly connected to or knowledgeable about the case. The well-being and viewpoint of the alleged victim have remained a focal point throughout this procedure, and we recognize her entitlement to lifelong anonymity.
As an employee, a person who has been with the club since the age of seven, and a new father with a partner, we hold several responsibilities towards Mason.
Having concluded the fact-finding phase of our investigation, we are now in the final stages of determining Mason's future.
Contrary to speculation in the media, the decision mentioned has not been finalized and is currently undergoing thorough internal deliberation. The ultimate responsibility lies with the Chief Executive Officer.
Once the decision is reached, it will be communicated and clarified to both the internal and external stakeholders of the club.
This case has been challenging for all those involved with Manchester United, and we acknowledge that it has generated strong opinions due to the limited evidence available to the public. We kindly request patience as we navigate the concluding steps of this meticulously thought-out procedure.
