ππππππππ: Raphael Varane did not start any contact with Saudi clubs, heβs staying
No intention to negotiate despite links, Raphaβs happy at Man Utd and nothing will happen with Saudi sides
Raphael Varane has never been in direct contact with Saudi clubs despite links β and heβs not interested in any move this summer #MUFC
Manchester United also consider Varane key player not available on the market.
Following a six-month internal investigation by Manchester United, Mason Greenwood is leaving the team. The team stated that it had been mutually decided that βit would be most appropriateβ for him to resume his career outside of Old Trafford and βwe will now work with Mason to achieve that outcomeβ.
United started that procedure after allegations of attempted rape, coercive behavior, and assault causing actual bodily damage against Greenwood were withdrawn. The forward, who is under contract until 2025, had refuted every accusation.
In a statement, United said: βWe have considered the wishes, rights, and viewpoint of the claimed victim as well as the clubβs principles and values, and have tried to gather as much information and context as possible. Due to this, we have had to act delicately and carefully in order to get information that is not in the public domain, especially from those who have firsthand knowledge of the case.
βBased on the data at our disposal, we have come to the conclusion that the internet content did not present a complete picture and that Mason did not conduct the offenses for which he was first charged. Having said that, Mason has made mistakes that he is accepting responsibility for, as he has said publicly today.
βEveryone involved, including Mason, is aware of the challenges he faces in starting over at Manchester United. Therefore, it has been decided that it would be best for him to do so outside of Old Trafford, and we will now cooperate with Mason to make that happen.
The 21-year-old hasnβt appeared for United since a 1-0 victory over West Ham at Old Trafford on January 22, 2022. He was detained in that month, and the charges were filed in October of that same year. Key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the inquiry, according to the Crown Prosecution Service, which declared that there was βno longer a realistic prospect of convictionβ when the charges were dismissed.
