Mason Greenwood‘s reinstatement in the club has reached a point of ‘no return’, Manchester United chiefs feel. Following heavy backlash and fan protest, the club believes that terminating Greenwood’s 18-month suspension and bringing him back to the team is now ‘impossible’. Reports of the management consulting with the Women’s team as well as sponsors hinted at a comeback by the player.
Mason Greenwood was facing an attempted r*pe charge which was subsequently dropped, following the loss of “key witnesses” in the case. Club management, however, proposed to conduct its own research before instating the player back into the first team. Currently serving an 18-month suspension, Greenwood was not even allowed to train with the first team.
Furthermore, after the reports surfaced following the club’s recent decision there has been severe backlash from fan groups and public figures. It has become more clear that Manchester United believes that the Greenwood case has reached a complex phase. Consequently, after conducting research of their own, the club released several statements, one was, “The fact-finding phase of our investigation is now complete, and we are in the final stages of deciding on Mason’s future.”
United supporters, on the other hand, have made their feelings clear regarding the situation. A banner outside Old Trafford read “Female fans demand. End violence against women. No Greenwood return.” While another fan held a banner that said, “Don’t leave the decision up to the women’s team you spineless motherless f****.”

His side lost 2-0, out of which the second was a horrible own-goal by Lisandro Martinez.
Further, many fans took to social media to lament the horrendous defending. Some even said that even though Harry Maguire has left the club his curse remains in the defence. It has not been a good start to the new club for Andre Onana as well. While facing a backlash last weekend, when he clattered into the Wolves’ striker. Now, he has conceded two.
