Mason Greenwood to leave Manchester United following investigation
Al JazeeraThe England player says the decision was in the best interest of both parties after months-long investigation into allegations of attempted rape. Manchester United forward and England player Mason Greenwood will leave Old Trafford, the Premier League club has announced following an internal investigation into allegations of attempted rape. “All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United,” the club said in a statement on Monday. “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.” The 21-year-old forward has been suspended by the Premier League giants since January 30, 2022, over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online, although a criminal case was discontinued. Meanwhile, in a statement to the media, Greenwood said the decision had been part of a “collaborative process” between him, his family and Manchester United.
