In January last year, Mason Greenwood’s career was in serious jeopardy. The footballer was then arrested on charges of rape and sexual assault. He was also alleged to have sent death threats to his partner Harriet Robson. In February this year, the charges were dropped following several witnesses declined to testify. Now both are expecting a baby.
Manchester United has made a decision regarding its star player. He may not like it
It’s been almost two months since the charges once morest Mason Greenwood were dropped and a final decision has still not been made on his career and contract at Manchester United. “Greenwood has had several discussions with the club in recent weeks. In them, he emphasized the desire to return to the game as soon as possible and the desire to fulfill the contract [ma ważny do 2025 roku – red.] – we read in the British daily “Daily Mail”.
For now, Manchester United have decided that Mason Greenwood will certainly not return to training this season as the club’s investigation into his arrest is unlikely to be completed until this summer. According to information from English journalists, the club does not want to make hasty decisions. If he allowed the player to play now, the media frenzy might disrupt the quest for success in the FA Cup, the Europa League and a top 4 finish in the Premier League.
“The club is divided on this issue. The sports department believes the player should be given a second chance, but marketing people are more cautious and are concerned that the club’s reputation will suffer a bit and there will be problems in talks with sponsors, adds the Daily Mail. The British newspaper tried to get an opinion from Manchester United on the matter, but the club declined to comment.
Greenwood made 129 appearances for Manchester United, scoring 35 goals and providing 12 assists. His contract expires at the end of June 2025.
Manchester United are third in the table following 26 rounds with 50 points. In fourth, Tottenham has only a point advantage, but also two matches played less, and over Newcastle – three points (same number of matches).
Manchester United have already won the League Cup (2-0 in the final once morest Newcastle), and they still have a chance for the FA Cup (they will face Brigton in the semi-finals) and the Europa League (they will play Sevilla in the quarter-finals).
