Crown Prosecution Service discontinued its case against Greenwood in February; Man Utd announce it has been 'mutually agreed' for forward to 'recommence' his career 'away from Old Trafford'Manchester United have announced that Mason Greenwood will be leaving the club following an internal investigation into the allegations of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault against him.
He has one senior cap for England, having played in the Nations League match against Iceland in September 2020."Manchester United has concluded its internal investigation into the allegations made against Mason Greenwood. "All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.""I want to start by saying I understand that people will judge me because of what they have seen and heard on social media, and I know people will think the worst.
"Today's decision has been part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family and me. The best decision for us all, is for me to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club. I thank the club for their support since I joined aged seven. There will always be a part of me which is United.
When audio footage and imagery was posted online in January 2022, my feelings were of shock and concern for the alleged victim. Her welfare, wishes and perspective have been central to the club's approach ever since, as have the club's standards and values. While we immediately concluded that Mason should be suspended pending investigation, we were also conscious of our duty of care towards him and the importance of making a decision based on full information.
• The alleged victim's family participated in the process and were given the opportunity to review and correct our factual findings.
