MANCHESTER United chief executive Richard Arnold has released a lengthy statement following the announcement that Mason Greenwood’s career at the club is over.
Mason Greenwood says leaving Manchester United is the “best decision” for all parties after the Red Devils confirmed his exit.
Greenwood was suspended by United in January 2022, with the club launching an internal investigation after charges of attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in February 2023.
But they did not reveal what Greenwood’s future holds – including whether his £75,000-a-week contract will be terminated or if he will be put on loan or sold.
The Bradford-born baller also released a statement admitting he had “made mistakes” and is now focused on being “a father as well as a good partner”.
Greenwood’s fate had remained uncertain after he was suspended by Utd in the wake of his charge for attempted rape, assault and coercive control – even after the case was dropped.
Chief exec Arnold was previously reported to have been considering giving the star a second chance.
But backlash from fans and protests outside Old Trafford saw him reconsider.
