Club statement

A decision has been made on Mason Greenwood's future.

Finally the correct decision but only because the public backlash was too much, clearly tried everything not to do this. Utterly shameful club
 
Depressingly it needed real pressure that made the bean counters think that keeping him would cost them more than losing him. It was never the thought that they should do the morally right thing.

You'd like to hope that our club wouldn't need the fan pressure but deep down you suspect that they would.
 
"Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for."

This is what are alluded to earlier on this thread. None of us know the full context and we must consider that the original content put online was from one perspective. People often form opinions without knowing the full facts of a situation.

Listen to the audio recording. How much more context do you want?
 
There seems to be a narrative from Greenwood and Man Us side that "there's extra evidence/context which shows it's a different story etc." Surely if that is the case you'd be letting everyone know exactly what that is, rather than just releasing vague unconvincing statements.
 
"It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome"

He's under contract, he hasn't been prosecuted.. so they will have to sell him or pay him off. £75k a week for two years with an option of a further year.. £7.5m to terminate his contract?
They could send him out on loan for two years and pay a large portion of his wages?

I think Man United have looked into more than you have. "Mason did not commit the offences".

So how do you explain the recording? It's definitely them, it seems completely genuine and horribly real.
If there is mitigating evidence why are they not revealing it?
To say basically that the organisations and individuals who have a very big vested interest in Greenwood say he's innocent so he must seems a bit naive to me.
 
"there is part of me that will always be united" Mr. Greenwood said in a statement

good luck with your search for future employment Mr. Greenwood.

I can't explain the recording. That is the whole point. None of us can form an opinion on something we know little about.

They could loan him, but then that still means he is technically a Manchester Utd player still during the loan spell. I’d have thought they’d want all ties gone, mutually agree a deal to pay him something. If he wants to get on playing football somewhere, he needs to be realistic. I would have thought Man U could find a way to ensure they didn’t need to pay his contract up given the situation. You don’t need to have been found guilty in a court to commit gross misconduct, reputational damage etc.

He’ll end up in somewhere like Turkey, Greece, China, Saudia Arabia or maybe at a push possibly an Italian team. I’ll guarantee if he gets a team playing in European competition and they draw an English team, he’ll have a mystery injury for his teams away leg.
