Mason Greenwood has been formally added to Manchester United’s roster of players who have been signed on for the upcoming 2023–24 campaign. The choice is made despite the young athlete still being suspended as a result of an international probe.
Greenwood was included among the players retained when Erik ten Hag’s team made the news on Friday. It’s vital to remember that his selection is mostly based on his current, through 2025, contract with the team. This does not reflect the findings of a Manchester United internal inquiry that was launched after the Crown Prosecution Service decided to dismiss Greenwood’s attempted rape and assault allegations in February.
Although United has yet to decide Greenwood’s future, recent sources indicate that one possibility is loaning the 21-year-old to a foreign club for the next season. Visiting Spain, Turkey, and Italy as potential locations is being suggested.
Since the first allegations against him in January, Greenwood has been absent from the team and has been subject to a ban by Manchester United. He still has two years left on his Old Trafford deal, which pays him $75,000 per week.
The fact that Greenwood is included among the “retained players” highlights the player and club’s legal duties and adds another level of intricacy to his predicament. Fans and analysts alike are anxiously awaiting Manchester United’s decision about his immediate future as the brilliant attacker works to reclaim his position in the game.
