Mason Greenwood and Manchester United, it’s over. The English footballer had been accused of rape and physical assault on his partner, until the charges were dropped last February. But Manchester United had decided to carry out an internal investigation in order to be able to make the best possible decision. And by mutual agreement, the Red Devils have decided to separate from Mason Greenwood, who reacted to this announcement via a press release relayed by the British media.
“I want to start by saying that I understand people are going to judge me because of what they’ve seen on social media and I know people are going to think the worst. I learned that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I didn’t do the things I was accused of and in February I was cleared of all charges. However, I fully accept that I made mistakes in my relationship and take my share of responsibility for the situations that led to the social media post. Today’s decision is part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me. The best decision is for me to continue my career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be good for the club., he explained in particular. It remains to be seen what will happen next for the 21-year-old’s professional career.
