Mason Greenwood ‘s Future: Manchester United’s Defining Decision Revealed Ahead of Season Opener
Manchester United is set to make an announcement regarding Mason Greenwood’s future prior to their first game of the season against Wolves.
The 21-year-old has been out of action since January 2022 due to suspension after facing charges of attempted assault, and coercive control, which were dropped earlier this year.
An internal investigation has been ongoing, and Greenwood is expected to know whether he will continue at Manchester United before the start of the new campaign.
During the suspension period, Greenwood has not been available for selection and hasn’t returned to first-team training at Carrington.
However, recent pictures show him participating in training sessions with a private coach in his own time.
After nearly 19 months of being suspended with full pay, his fate at the club will be determined in the next two weeks.
Manchester United’s internal investigation into Greenwood’s situation has been completed, and the findings will be disclosed before the Premier League season commences in mid-August.
Their first match will be against Wolves, and it’s anticipated that the decision on Greenwood’s future will be announced shortly before that.
The club’s management has taken their time to deliberate and come to a final verdict on Greenwood’s situation.
Manager Erik ten Hag has offered his personal view on the matter but stated that he will accept whatever decision the club makes.
The charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023, but Manchester United proceeded with an internal investigation, the results of which will be made public soon.
Ten Hag‘s team will finalize their decision on Greenwood’s future before the start of the new Premier League season.
The player has been seen training with a private coach during the summer but did not join the squad for the pre-season tour in the United States.
Reports suggest that he might be loaned out, with Juventus showing interest in a temporary deal. Currently, Greenwood’s contract with Manchester United extends until 2025.
