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 has 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.
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 made, the decision will be communicated and explained to 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.
His girlfriend gave him another chance, why shouldn’t we?
Let’s not pretend that any of our past legends haven’t been horrible people either.
I heard the recording. I can never unhear that recording. I don’t want anyone like that in or around my club
Oh come on, his girlfriend didn’t give him another chance. It’s either a financial situation where she realises she’s much better off financially if she “forgives” him or there’s too much pressure from people to not be the person who “ruined” Greenwood’s career.
Mason Greenwood is a monster, a horrible human being and thrash. He shouldn’t be anywhere near this club. Rich people shouldn’t be able to get away with this shit just because they are rich or good at kicking a ball.
I fully agree he’s a monster, however, she is after having a child with him therefore maybe there are some facts that we (the public) are just not aware of?
I’m in no way justifying what he’s done - I’ve heard the recording and it’s horrible. But given the circumstances, I don’t think the club is in the wrong either. Football, at the end of the day, is a business like any other, whether we like it or not.
