Manchester United release statement after Mason Greenwood has charges against him dropped MUFC
The 21-year-old was first arrested in January 2022 over the allegations after disturbing images and videos were posted online by a woman.
Greenwood was later charged by Greater Manchester Police, with a provisional trial set for November 2023. He had faced one charge of attempted rape, one count of controlling and coercive behaviour and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, all against the same complainant.However, the Crown Prosecution Service has said that it dropped all charges against Greenwood after a key witness withdrew their involvement.“In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
His club have since spoken on the matter, saying in a statement: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped. “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”It’s understood the investigation will start immediately and Greenwood is not expected to return to training during that time. It’s not clear how long the process will take.
