In the summer, Manchester United will re-evaluate Mason Greenwood’s status at the team. Sir Jim Ratcliffe has emphasized that the team must study the “full facts” and render a “fair judgment” on the forward.
Following the end of United’s internal inquiry into severe charges made against him, Greenwood signed a season-long loan with Getafe in August.
The 22-year-old’s career would be “most appropriate” to resume outside of Old Trafford, according to a club statement. Originally, United had intended to reintegrate Greenwood into the squad at the start of this season, but a strong outcry forced a rethink.
Greenwood has made 24 appearances for Getafe this season, with seven goals and five assists. He last played for United in January 2022.
In November 2023, Greenwood was scheduled to go on trial for attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault; however, due to the withdrawal of important witnesses and the discovery of fresh evidence, all charges against Greenwood were withdrawn in February 2023.
Greenwood’s charges were withdrawn a year ago
When United let go of Greenwood in August of last year, there was an air of finality about it. Despite the fact that he was merely out on loan, some were certain he would never join the team again.
Ratcliffe took over complete sports authority and a sizable ownership stake in the team this week. He also announced that Greenwood’s status will be reviewed at the conclusion of the current campaign.
“This is a new choice,” Ratcliffe declared. “I am able to discuss the principle. I won’t be talking about Mason. I’ve heard about that before. The main thing is the principle. In the future, there will be more problems.
“You are working with young individuals who have not always had the best upbringing, who are quite wealthy, and who don’t always have the proper direction.”
” When faced with problems like that, we must recognize the true effects rather than just the the hype and then fairly decide in accordance with the club’s principles. That is what we must do, and that is how we will handle the situation.”
Ratcliffe added to the BBC, saying, “We need to look at the facts, judge fairly, and take the club’s values into consideration.” Then, after that, we make a choice. I shouldn’t be making comments about Mason Greenwood right now.
