A question burns the lips of Red Devils fans: will Mason Greenwood wear the Manchester United jersey again? Charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behavior, the English striker saw the charges against him dropped last February by British justice. Recently, the 21-year-old sparked debate about his situation in Manchester when he was spotted training in a park with other players from United’s academy.

However, on the sidelines of the resumption of the English championship edition 2023-2024, Manchester United released a weight index on the future of the native of Bradford. The Sun reports that the Red Devils have not given a number to Mason Greenwood. Symbolically, this means that the Mancunian club does not count on him and his future now seems to be written far from Manchester, while his lease expires in June 2025. The residents of Old Trafford should decide on his case in the days to come. .

Mancunian fans are exasperated!

One thing is certain, the situation of the 21-year-old Englishman, targeted by Atalanta Bergamo this summer, is seriously straining Red Devils supporters. In this context, The Athletic indicates, this Friday, that supporters of the club have planned a series of demonstrations in front of Old Trafford before the match against Wolverhampton on Monday (9 p.m., 1st day of the Premier League), to invite the club to take a firm position on the case of the English international, who has not played since January 22, 2022. The British media reveals, as such, that a banner has already been created: “Female Fans Are Not Asking For Greenwood Back – End Violence Against Women”.

For his part, one of the organizers took the floor to express his frustration with the silence of the Mancunian team. “It is time the club stood up and made the right decision. It’s time to say: ‘we have high standards at United for how players should behave and if you don’t meet those standards you should be sent off’. This is a turning point for the club. Will they go along with commercialism, trophies and money? Or will they take the side of the fans who attend the game and of the club as a social and community institution that we can be proud to have as an integral part of our identity? If Mason Greenwood should not be present against Wolverhampton on August 14, his future remains open. Lately, Juventus seemed interested in the idea of ​​relaunching him.
