Prior to a probable comeback, Mason Greenwood has the backing of his Manchester United teammates.
Senior Manchester United players reportedly feel that the 21-year-old has been placed in “limbo” after allegations, including an attempted rape, were dropped.
Since his arrest, Greenwood has been subject to a club suspension, but it appears that discussions about his future will come to a close before United’s Premier League start against Wolves.
He was charged with attempted rape, sexual assault, and controlling behavior in October of last year, and his trial was scheduled for November.But in February, the Crown Prosecution Service dismissed the accusations. The players all think he deserves a second opportunity because, according to the source, he is legally innocent.The players feel as though he has been left in limbo because he didn’t have the chance to defend himself in court because the accusations were withdrawn.”They are prepared to protect him and support him even if they are aware that it would be difficult.“Some of the younger players have devotion to him because they went through the academy with him.They acknowledge his past transgressions, but the boys who have spoken to him claim he has matured considerably over the past 18 months and will return much more experienced.In all honesty, a lot of this feels like public relations fluff, and I’m intrigued to find out which part of the Greenwood family is publicizing their side of the tale.I wonder whether Greenwood will ever talk about the episode that rendered his reputation absolutely useless.United has not yet made a decision about his future official.
