‘No Hope For Mason Greenwood Playing For Man Utd’
Richard Arnold, the chief executive of the Premier League team, states that there is “no expectation that Mason Greenwood will play for Manchester United.”
The 21-year-old was the subject of a long-running internal investigation at Old Trafford following his arrest in January 2022 on suspicion of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.

In February 2023, those accusations were dismissed, allowing Greenwood to resume his professional career.
He worked out separately from the rest of the United team over the summer, and after the close of the transfer window, he agreed to a loan deal with Getafe of La Liga.
The one-cap England international remains under contract in Manchester through to 2025.
Arnold has, however, suggested that his time with United is over.
Following claims of “in-house discontent” in The Athletic, the Red Devils’ chief executive called an urgent staff meeting on Monday.
During those conversations, Arnold was questioned on the subject of Greenwood after some staff members, including the club’s women’s squad, expressed concern over the forward’s prospective reintegration into the first-team ranks.
When answering a series of pre-submitted questions, Arnold said when asked if promises could be made regarding Greenwood’s continued absence from long-term plans: “There’s no expectation of Mason playing for Manchester United.”
In a 3-2 victory over Osasuna, Greenwood made his Getafe debut over the weekend, coming off the bench to play 13 minutes.
Getafe has continued to give him their complete support despite the “die” chants from away supporters during that game.
