This Friday, Manchester United announced its decision to part ways with Mason Greenwood after months of investigation. In response, the English international released a statement through the British press.
Mason Greenwood had faced allegations of violent behavior and assault against his partner, accusations that were dropped in February. However, Manchester United chose to conduct an internal investigation to make an informed decision. After months of investigation, the English club decided on Monday to sever ties with Greenwood. Following this announcement, the player reacted through a statement distributed by the British media.
“I want to start by saying that I understand people will judge me based on what they have seen on social media, and I know people will think the worst. I have learned that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, and I didn’t do the things I was accused of, and in February, I was cleared of all accusations. However, I fully accept that I have made mistakes in my relationship and take my share of responsibility for the situations that led to the social media posts. Today’s decision is part of a collaborative process between Manchester United, my family, and myself. The best decision is for me to continue my career away from Old Trafford, where my presence wouldn’t be good for the club,” he explained.
It remains to be seen what the next steps will be for the 21-year-old player’s professional career. His raw talent and undeniable potential make him a promising prospect for some football clubs.
