Mason Greenwood: Man Utd announce striker will leave club

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood will leave the club after both parties concluded it would be inappropriate for the forward to continue his career at Old Trafford.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 for allegations including attempted rape and assault, but the charges were dropped in February this year.

Man Utd said in a statement: “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.”

In a statement, Greenwood accepted he had “made mistakes”, but added: “I did not do the things I was accused of.”
