Mason Greenwood set to be frustrated by Man Utd as details of investigation revealed

Mason Greenwood will have to wait several more months to find out his future at Manchester United after the timeline of the club’s internal investigation emerged

Mason Greenwood won’t play for Manchester United this season, with the club’s investigation into the striker expected to take some time to conclude.

Earlier this month Greenwood saw all charges against him dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service. He had been due to stand trial in November for an alleged attempted rape and assault against a woman, but prosecutors dropped the case after key witnesses withdrew and new evidence came to light.

The 21-year-old has not played for United since January 22 last year after being charged with one count of attempted rape, a count of assault and repeatedly engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour. Greenwood denied all charges.

While all those charges have been dropped by the CPS and Greenwood currently faces no criminal prosecution, he is being investigated by United. The club confirmed on February 2 that they are conducting their own process but did not put a timeline on it.

United will interview Greenwood to ascertain his version of events and will also get specialists in to assess his mental and physical state.

Greenwood, who has 35 goals in 129 matches for United, is under contract with the club until June 2025. United keen to proceed with caution and are therefore in no rush to make a decision on his future at the club.
