Manchester United expect to announce their decision regarding Mason Greenwood’s future at the club before their first game of the season on 14 August. The move will clarify whether the forward will remain a United player or leave.

The 21-year-old has not played for United since 22 January 2022, in a 1-0 win over West Ham at Old Trafford. He was arrested that month and in October of that year he was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Greenwood denied all of the charges and they were dropped in February.

Since then United have been conducting an internal inquiry, talking to all relevant parties and stakeholders. The club expect to rule on Greenwood’s future in the next two weeks before their match at home to Wolves.
