In a statement on Thursday, Manchester United said they would conduct an internal investigation to determine the next steps. Greenwood will not train with the first-team squad while the process is ongoing.
The statement read: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
“The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
