Manchester United say Mason Greenwood will leave the club despite a criminal investigation of possible attempted rape being closed by prosecutors six months ago.
FILE - Manchester United's Mason Greenwood looks on during the English Premier League soccer match between Aston Villa and Manchester United at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, Saturday, Jan. 15, 2022. Manchester United is close to making a decision over whether Mason Greenwood has a future at the club. Charges of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior and assault against the England forward were dropped six months ago.
The 21-year-old England forward has not played for United since January 2022 and his future remained unclear during the club’s own investigation. “All those involved, including Mason, recognize the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United," the club said in a statement. “It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”
Greenwood said it was “the best decision for us all … to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club.” Greenwood had been implicated in controlling and coercive behavior and assault relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online.“Throughout, we have taken into account the wishes, rights and perspective of the alleged victim along with the club’s standards and values, and sought to collate as much information and context as possible,” United said.
