Investigation and Arresting
Mason Greenwood criminal charges dropped in February 2023 due to the withdrawal of key witnesses and the emergence of new evidence, Manchester United initiated its own investigation into the events that had led to his arrest in 2022. According to reports from ESPN, United did not possess all the evidence collected by prosecutors and relied on the cooperation of involved parties to provide evidence. The alleged victim did not directly engage with United for the investigation, but the victim’s mother did communicate with the club.
Greenwood provided explanations to United regarding the publicly released audio and images, which were not contested by the alleged victim’s family. Ultimately, the club’s investigation concluded that Greenwood had not committed the initial offenses and found no grounds for terminating his contract.
Initial reports by journalist Adam Crafton of The Athletic, followed by The Daily Telegraph, indicated that Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold had informed the club’s top executives in early August 2023 of intentions to reintegrate Greenwood into the team. However, on 16 August 2023, Manchester United publicly announced that they were in the “final stages” of considering Greenwood’s future at the club after completing an investigation into the allegations surrounding his 2022 arrest.
They highlighted their responsibilities to Mason as an employee, a long-standing member of the club since the age of seven, and a new father with a partner.
This announcement received objections from both United’s staff and the public, with criticism coming from various quarters, including domestic violence charity Women’s Aid and Stretford and Urmston MP Andrew Western. Due to the backlash, the club’s top executives reversed their decision by 18 August, determining that Greenwood should not return.
On 21 August 2023, Manchester United officially announced that Greenwood would be leaving the club, stating that they would work with him to achieve this outcome. The investigation’s result was that the material posted online did not present the full picture, and Mason did not commit the offenses for which he was initially charged. However, Greenwood acknowledged making mistakes in his relationship and took responsibility for the situations leading to the social media post. His future with United appeared uncertain, with possibilities of sale or loan to another club, despite his contract with United extending until 2025.
