According to The Athletic, Erik ten Hag was willing to reintegrate Mason Greenwood (22) into his squad at Manchester United and play the striker before his eventual move to Olympique de Marseille.
The former United forward recently sealed a move to the Stade Vélodrome after being enticed by the prospect of playing under former Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi. Greenwood’s move to OM is set to cost £26.6m. Nevertheless, United hold a sell-on clause of 50% should the Ligue 1 outfit sell the former England U21 international attacker.
The Premier League club made the decision to sell the 22-year-old after the player was charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in October 2022. These charges were later dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service in the UK in 2023. With Manchester United unwilling to reintegrate Greenwood into the squad, he was loaned to Getafe.
Before this decision was made though, ten Hag was happy to welcome the forward back into his squad and utilise him. However, the decision was taken out of his hands and the club ultimately chose to go in the other direction with their decision.

This coach is lying because Greenwood was willing to return but was forced out
It's not EtH's fault. It's your club's women

Greenwood was never going to play again for Manchester United considering the backlash it would have caused on the women's society side with. the statue of Man United as an organization it was always going to end the way it unveils.

The problem you have is that u have not understood that it’s not the coach who decided on Greenwood situation. That’s why u a making all this noise. The club can not use greenwood right not so even if the coach wants him it’s impossible. The board had already decided about his situation since last season. He can not play for united right now not matter if the coach wants it. The scandal around him has to die down cus many people don’t want him at united right now, especially the female administration and female team. You are not aware and that’s why u are saying relevant information but doesn’t apply to him. Greenwood is like an outcast right now and the board wants the matter to cool down that’s why they insisted a secret buy back clause (if it’s even true) when sold to marseille. Understand that and sit quietly. ETH H’has no say on that
I understand your perspective, but my point was not about who made the decision regarding Greenwood. I recognize that the board and other factors influenced the situation. My concern is about the overall communication and transparency from the club regarding such decisions. The secrecy and handling of the matter create confusion and speculation among fans. Whether or not the coach has a say, the club should ensure that all stakeholders, including supporters, are adequately informed and can trust the decision-making process.

“Please be quiet and consider what you’re saying. Do you truly understand the complexities of managing a team? Are you aware of the numerous discussions and agreements that occur between the board and the coach before a signing is finalized? Who told you that the coach lacks influence? If the Manchester United coach didn’t have a voice within the team, what would be the point of having a coach at all? All coaches have a significant role in decision-making regarding player retention and transfers. Like Pep Guardiola and other managers, if a coach lacks authority, it isn’t a soccer team—it’s just a commercial enterprise.”

Greenwood was initially in his plans, but ETH was not contemplating him. If he had intended to play him, he would have allowed him to join his teammates in training. However, all of them heeded the voices of the female fans and let them make decisions on their behalf. You guys decided to let him leave, so why are there all these spurious news reports just to make yourselves sound favorable in our ears? I implore you, let’s discuss different matters because Greenwood’s departure is genuinely hurting some of us. Firstly, Manchester United can be quite perplexing. We need players like him to demonstrate that some individuals are naturally gifted. Despite not playing football for a while, he still came onto the field and outperformed some of our regular players. Then, you allowed him to go. Now, you are fabricating excuses about wanting to use him. As the coach, you have a voice too. If you don’t want certain players to leave your team, assert it: “This player is part of my project; don’t sell him.” The individuals who wanted him gone are not the ones coaching Manchester United. So, if you start losing games due to a lack of quality players in your squad, they will be the same people criticizing you and calling for your dismissal.

The people that chased him out, who of them is without sin. What did greenwood do that was unforgivable. United should have kept him in the club and pardon him, he is still young and much younger when those things happened. Selling him does more damage to his person and confidence. No one is perfect, so is greenwood.
People who commit sexual assault and murder use that same logic. Since none is without sin and all can be forgiven. Does that mean there Should be no accountability How do we prosecute anybody?

After he left this is what you can say. Mason Greenwood has been our player who has suffered in the hands of United. He needed so much support from the club after his incident but they threw him away and wished not to even see him. # I'm happy he's gone forever 😀
