Manchester United's Decision to Part Ways with Mason Greenwood to Avoid PR Fallout

The Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood is set to depart from the club following a "mutual agreement" reached after an internal investigation into his behavior.

In January 2022, Greenwood was arrested in relation to content that was posted online. However, charges of attempted rape and assault were later dropped, more than a year after the incident.

While acknowledging his errors, Greenwood maintains his innocence, stating, "I did not engage in the actions I was accused of."

Manchester United has determined that it would be best for Greenwood to pursue his professional career elsewhere, and they have made this decision accordingly.
