Mason Greenwood and Manchester United have “mutually” agreed to part ways after a six-month internal investigation stemming from rape and assault allegations in a criminal case that was closed in the spring.
Greenwood, 21, was arrested in January 2022 after video and images purporting to show him surfaced online. He charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in October of that year. The charges were dropped in February 2023, and the Crown Prosecution Service declined to further pursue the matter in April.
“All those involved, including Mason, recognize the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United,” the team said in a statement.
