A Manchester United chief has broken silence on Mason Greenwood's future at Old Trafford, insisting the club has performed a 'detailed and thorough internal investigation' following his dropped criminal charges.
Greenwood, who has not featured for the Red Devils since he was arrested in January 2022 for attempted rape, assault and coercive control, had his charges dropped in February and is now waiting to learn his fate in football.
The Premier League club have remained silent on the issue for several months while undergoing their own investigation.
But now, United's chief operating officer Collette Roche has finally opened up on the internal five-month probe.
She told The Athletic: 'We've done a really detailed and thorough internal investigation and we've asked as many people as we can around what happened and try to understand it beyond the original investigation done by the police.
'You'd expect us to engage with people who were relevant in terms of stakeholder groups. And now we just need to make the decision. That decision is firmly a decision that's on us.'
Manchester United have not yet revealed their decision on whether or not the forward will return this season, even though the new campaign began last weekend.

the irony is that a boy who is destined for great things with his talent, made a wrong turn once and needs grace as well as help but the system is punishing him over and over again, I hope it's beyond the color of his skin and hair... can we conclude this issue already allow the boy to recreate his future, if he is not needed at Man Utd, then let him go

wait o... didn't Ryan gigs, Wayne Rooney and even Ronaldo have similar issues? why is that of this young Lad so different? what do these people have against this young man? there is definitely something beyond what they are letting out. if you (united) don't want this boy to play for you anymore, let him go somewhere else and further his career. keep managing Anthony and see where you will end up this season.

Just allow the young man to come back. Women in UK have taken advantage of these young rich guys by throwing themselves on them and when things go sour, they turn and say he raped me. Useless prostitutes
