Manchester United have announced that Mason Greenwood will leave the club by mutual consent.
The club were yet to communicate a decision on his future after he was suspended following the criminal charges against him relating to attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
Even though he was found not guilty after the withdrawal from key witnesses, and initial rumours that the club were keen on continuing with him, they have now announced that he will leave and recommence his career away from Old Trafford.
Manchester United has concluded its internal investigation into the allegations made against Mason Greenwood.
Full Man United statement on Greenwood below:
“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.”
