The Countdown host and lifelong Manchester United supporter, Rachel Riley, hit out at the club. Rachel labeled the handling a ‘disgrace,’ accusing the club of enabling ‘gaslighting‘ through social media harassment. She criticized how they managed Greenwood’s removal post-arrest for assault, attempted rape, and coercive control.

Rachel shared photos: one as a baby with Utd teddy, and another of her kids in kits. She backed Greenwood’s removal but criticized the statement’s phrasing it as ‘horrendous.‘ She asserted on The News Agents podcast that she believed handling the situation had been grossly mishandled.

Rachel included, “I’ve been a red since before I was born, I’ve passed it on to my baby girls, and some of the all-time best times of my life have been working with and cheering on Man United, so I write with such a heavy heart – as a club we’ve handled this appallingly.” Even though the Crown Prosecution Service decided not to pursue the case, the club investigated the allegations.

The TV personality consistently raised concerns about Greenwood, even threatening to stop supporting Utd if they backed him. Just yesterday, she commended the “excellent statement” issued by Women’s Aid after the club announced its decision. The declaration ends a 19-month-long ordeal for United following Greenwood’s January arrest.

It is often said that power is fond of a void, and a significant reason behind the widespread approval of Erik ten Hag among numerous fans is his demonstration of the kind of resolute demeanor that none of his successors after Alex Ferguson could ever manage.

Therefore, regarding Mason Greenwood, most agree that Manchester United reached the right choice, despite some social media backlash. They initially seemed to be heading in the wrong direction but changed course upon realizing the harmful outcomes.

Greenwood issued a statement in which he said that he had not committed the actions he was accused of. However, he acknowledged that he was comprehending his duties as a professional and learning to uphold them. As he looks at potential career options in Turkey and Saudi, perhaps his best life choices are away from the limelight.
