ENGLAND: Manchester United fans have carried out a protest against the prospect of Mason Greenwood’s return to the team after their season opener against Wolves.
The 21-year-old was arrested in January 2022 and suspended on full pay by United a short time later after charges of alleged rape and assault were made against him.
However, the Crown Prosecution Service announced in February of this year that the charges had been dropped after ‘key witnesses’ withdrew their involvement.
United then released a short statement explaining how they would conduct an internal investigation to decide his future – something that has not yet been resolved – with a decision expected shortly on whether or not he will remain at the club.
A group of United fans though have made their feelings clear outside Old Trafford after their 1-0 win over Wolves.
Their protest coincided with a separate demonstration from supporters against the Glazers’ ownership of the club.
The supporters gathered near the Holy Trinity statue outside the ground, displaying a banner which read: ‘Female fans demand no Greenwood return – end violence against women.’
Another fan was seen raising a sign which said: ‘Don’t leave the decision up to the women’s team you spineless motherless f**.’
Mail Sport previously reported that the club had moved a step closer towards bringing Greenwood back into the fold as they sought final approval from the women’s team, along with club sponsors and fans’ groups.
It is understood that United have made their decision after the findings of a six-month internal investigation were handed to chief executive Richard Arnold.
They will now enter a consultation period including speaking to the women’s team some of whom are at the World Cup to ratify the move.
