Mason Greenwood speaks out, announces decision to part ways with Man United following public outrage over dismissed rape allegations: ‘I am innocent, yet I recognize my past errors’

Mason Greenwood has issued a statement addressing the recent announcement by Manchester United that his career at Old Trafford has come to an end. In the statement, Greenwood admits to making mistakes and reflects on the public judgment he has faced due to social media. He emphasizes that he was cleared of all charges in February but acknowledges his responsibility for the issues that arose in his relationship and led to the social media post. Greenwood expresses his commitment to learning from his mistakes and being a better person and father. He thanks Manchester United for their support over the years and states that the best decision for everyone involved is for him to continue his football career away from the club. Greenwood vows to use his talents in a positive way both on and off the pitch.

The allegations against Greenwood, including attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault, were officially discontinued in February. Manchester United conducted an internal investigation, taking into account the perspective of the alleged victim and the club’s values. Based on the evidence available, they concluded that Greenwood did not commit the offenses he was originally charged with. However, Greenwood acknowledges his mistakes and understands the difficulties with resuming his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it is most appropriate for him to continue his career elsewhere, and the club will assist him in achieving that outcome.

The final details of Greenwood’s departure are still being worked out, but it is confirmed that he will not play for Manchester United again. He will either leave on loan or have his contract settled. The investigation into Greenwood’s case was led by Chief Executive Richard Arnold, with assistance from Roche, legal counsel Patrick Stewart, Communications Director Ellie Norman, and Football Director John Murtough.

While the club initially planned to reintegrate Greenwood into the men’s first team, they ultimately considered the wishes of the women’s team, club sponsors, and fans’ groups. Some United fans protested Greenwood’s potential return, expressing their concerns about violence against women. Public figure Rachel Riley also stated her intention to stop supporting the club if Greenwood was brought back.
