Employees of the English club Manchester United will resign their posts and another will go on strike in the event that the entity decides to reinstate Mason Greenwood, who was accused of raping his girlfriend in January 2022, a case that was dismissed this week.

According to the sports site The Atheltic, the news that Greenwood could return to training with the United squad in the Premier League caused a great deal of controversy.

In this sense, members of the club were outraged and warned that if the striker returns they will resign and leave the entity, while another part of the staff announced that they will go on strike.

In addition, celebrities such as the British television presenter Rachel Riley, very popular in England, showed their discontent and disapproval on networks, even threatening to stop following the club if Greenwood wore the ‘Red Devils’ jacket again.

Apparently, United also made an assessment of the reception that the footballer would have in an eventual return, and opinions were very divided.

The club listed a number of anti-domestic violence organizations that it presumed to be ‘hostile’ and concluded that an unfriendly reception is expected from many entities and individuals.

In principle, when the charges against Greenwood, 21, are dropped, Manchester United is willing to give the footballer a second chance, after the prosecution dropped all charges against him from his ex-partner after denouncing him for physical and sexual abuse.

The forward played for Manchester United in the Premier League for the last time on January 22, 2022, then he was separated from Old Trafford, his teammates stopped following him on social networks and companies such as Nike or EA Sports broke their commercial ties.
