BREAKING NEWS: Man United ‘told senior staff Mason Greenwood is returning to the club two weeks ago’ – and now say the ‘fact-finding phase of investigation is complete’ with a decision ‘in final stages’

Manchester United chief executive Richard Arnold told senior staff that Mason Greenwood would be returning to the club two weeks ago, according to reports. 

The Red Devils carried out a six-month internal investigation after the 21-year-old striker’s charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped in February.

Arnold reportedly informed United’s leadership team of the plan to bring back Greenwood, who has been out of action since his arrest in January 2022, two weeks ago on August 4.

According to The Athletic, Arnold intended to record and share a video explaining Greenwood’s reintegration with the men’s first team to staff and the general public.

Arnold’s initial plan was for Greenwood not to be involved in any appearances with the club’s charitable arm, the Manchester United Foundation, despite his return to Erik ten Hag’s first team squad.
