Greenwood to missstart of pre-season as decision on future expected

 Crown Prosecution Service dis­continued its case against Green­wood for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in February; the 21-year-old has not played for the club since January 2022

Mason Greenwood will not be present

as Manchester United return for pre-sea­son training, but a decision on his future is expected before the start of the new Premier League season.

Per the club’s guidance in Febru­ary, the 21-year-old is suspended from training and matches until they complete an internal investigation after the Crown Prosecution Service discontinued its case against Greenwood for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

United announced on January 30 last year he would not return to training or play any matches “until further notice.”

Nike also sus­pended and later terminated its spon­sorship deal with Greenwood, while Electronic Arts confirmed he had been removed from active squads on its FIFA 22 game.

The Brad­ford-born player came through the United academy and made his senior debut in a Cham­pions League vic­tory away to Paris Saint-Germain in March 2019.

He has one senior cap for England, playing in the Nations League match against Ice­land in September 2020. –SkySports
