Manchester United and English football talent Mason Greenwood have parted ways “by mutual consent”. Last year, the professional’s girlfriend made serious allegations of abuse, but the court dropped the lawsuit.
English soccer club Manchester United has parted ways with player Mason Greenwood following an internal investigation. As the Premier League club announced on Monday, the decision was made by mutual agreement. The prospect of Greenwood’s comeback at Manchester United had caused controversy. A group of female Man United fans had recently spoken out publicly against it. British media had reported that the club wanted to consult its players before making a decision.
Greenwood was investigated for attempted rape and assault in early 2022. However, the British judiciary dropped the investigation after a year and justified the decision with the fact that after the withdrawal of important witnesses and based on the evidence there was no realistic prospect of a conviction.
Manchester United: Further cooperation is difficult
Manchester United have now announced that they have tried to gather as much information as possible and to obtain evidence “that is not publicly available”. It was concluded that Greenwood did not commit the crimes for which he was charged. However, he made mistakes for which he takes responsibility. Because further cooperation is difficult, Greenwood will continue his career elsewhere.
In a statement, Greenwood said the split was a collaborative process between the club, his family and himself, the 21-year-old pro writes. Greenwood, who is considered a gifted talent, also expressed sympathy for people who condemned him based on the social media posts that led to the indictment. He wants to be a better person now.
Mason Greenwood is still with his girlfriend
His girlfriend Hariet Robson published an Instagram video in January 2022 that showed her bleeding lip and various bruises on her body. She also posted a tape recording in which Greenwood allegedly threatened her with violence and rape. The next day Greenwood was suspended from the club and provisionally arrested. Now the separation followed. Greenwood continues to be with his girlfriend. The couple’s first child was born in July.
