Mason Greenwood was supposed to be the next big thing from Carrington. The Manchester United academy product came into prominence in the 2019/20 season. He became a beacon of hope after Romelu Lukaku’s departure left the team in need of a goal-scoring talisman.
Marcus Rashford, who was the only reliable scorer suffered an injury that kept him out for months. Seizing the opportunity, the English striker weaved his way into the first team and quickly began finding the back of the net with remarkable consistency. His impressive run saw him net an impressive tally of 17 goals across all competitions, earning widespread acclaim from pundits who lauded him as a potential future star of English football. However, the atmosphere took a dark turn when the forward was charged with attempted rape.
Photo and audio clips surfaced of him assaulting his girlfriend Harriet Robinson. The player was suspended indefinitely by the club. In a perplexing situation, the charges were withdrawn by the victim and they had a child this year. Now, the club is deciding whether or not they should bring Greenwood back to the squad. The club has done an investigation on its own about the case to make a final decision.
The players within the club have expressed their willingness to welcome Greenwood back, citing a sense of loyalty towards their teammate. Despite acknowledging his past mistake, they believe that he has shown growth and maturity over the past 18 months. They empathize with the conundrum Greenwood faces, as he has not had the opportunity to clear his name in court. Nevertheless, they stand united in supporting his potential comeback to the club.
The final decision on his future is anticipated to be made soon, as both the team and the player await the resolution

Mason Greenwood’s return spells uncertainty for starting XI regulars
Manchester United faces a challenging situation as Mason Greenwood’s return to the squad puts the places of several players in jeopardy. With an already surplus of attackers, his comeback would further intensify the competition for starting spots, leaving the club management with the task of making decisions regarding which players should stay and which might need to seek opportunities elsewhere.
Players like Jadon Sancho and Antony, who have been underperforming, will undoubtedly face mounting pressure to step up their form if they wish to secure their places in the team. Even promising young players like Amad Diallo and Facundo Pellestri must no longer take their positions for granted, as their spots in the squad remain far from assured.
Greenwood’s arrival will raise uncertainties for academy graduates like Charlie McNeil and Joe Hugill, potentially limiting their chances to make it into the first team. Additionally, Anthony Martial’s future at the club hangs in the balance, with the possibility of a sale in this transfer window
