Greenwood's future

Peddled by Man U

Manchester United has concluded its internal investigation into the allegations made against Mason Greenwood.

Our process commenced in February 2023, following all charges against Mason being dropped. 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. This has required us to proceed with sensitivity and care to obtain evidence not in the public domain, including from those with direct knowledge of the case.

Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.

All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. 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.

Be peddled to some third world shithole on a lucrative contract in an environment where women are considered second class citizens.

It hasn't though, reading that statement it comes across if Man United did everything they could to keep him.

Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged.

They've more or less said nothing and said it's difficult for him to resume his career there, when they arguably should have said something along the lines of these behaviours and actions are not aligned with club values and as a result his contract is terminated with mutual effect. THey go on to state that they will facilaite and work with Greenwood to make a move happen, meaning they haven't sacked him but that they will move him on.
 
Mason Greenwood statement:

“I want to start by saying I understand that people will judge me because of what they have seen and heard on social media, and I know people will think the worst.

I was brought up to know that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of, and in February I was cleared of all charges. However, I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations which led to the social media post.
I am learning to understand my responsibilities to set a good example as a professional footballer, and I’m focused on the big responsibility of being a father, as well as a good partner.

Today’s decision has been part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me. The best decision for us all, is for me to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club. I thank the club for their support since I joined aged seven. There will always be a part of me which is United.

I am enormously grateful to my family and all my loved ones for their support, and it is now for me to repay the trust those around me have shown. I intend to be a better footballer, but most importantly a good father, a better person, and to use my talents in a positive way on and off the pitch."

I’ve got to have praise to Man Utd here.

They’re in a tough spot. They are struggling on the field and it’s clear this lad has talent. They haven’t been successful for a fair few years but are hanging on to the fact they’re still a global brand. Keeping him would be dangerous for that part. They’ve also told the world he’s for sale at a very small price. Potentially losing them £100 million (if he lived up to his expectations)

They made the right decision
 
I can’t see anyone forgiving him in football unless they hear this extra recording. Even then that might not be enough.
 
Good. This seems to be the correct decision. Despite what some have said it was not straight forward but it seems that morals have triumphed over money, which is not something you hear often relating to football.

I agree. Although I'm not sure if they could have sacked him.
