Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, reportedly supported the return of Mason Greenwood to the club before the decision was made for him to leave. The announcement came on Monday that Greenwood would be departing the club, marking the end of his time with the Red Devils. This decision followed a six-month investigation into Greenwood’s conduct after charges for attempted rape and domestic assault were dropped earlier this year. After an internal investigation, United determined that Greenwood did not commit the crimes he was accused of. However, they still decided it was best for him to rebuild his career elsewhere.
It is worth noting that United had initially planned for Greenwood’s reintegration into the team. Senior figures at the club were briefed just two weeks ago that Greenwood would be returning to the first team. Ten Hag was said to be supportive of this decision, recognizing the striker’s abilities and how he could contribute to the team.
However, United faced public backlash when it was revealed that they had intended to reintegrate Greenwood. As a result, the club is now looking to loan him out, but they are also open to permanent offers. Regardless of whether he leaves on loan or permanently, United has made it clear that Greenwood will not play for the club again.
Greenwood’s current contract with Manchester United expires in 2025. This suggests that the club still sees potential in him and may be open to his return in the future if he can prove himself elsewhere.
In other news, there have been rumors surrounding Raphael Varane’s possible exit from Manchester United amid links to Saudi Arabia. However, Varane’s stance on the matter has not been revealed yet.
