Manchester United have decided to further delay their announcement on the future of Mason Greenwood.
Talk about dragging it out and failing to take control of the situation.
According to the Manchester Evening News, senior figures at United had intended to communicate the findings of their internal investigation into Greenwood “imminently” but it has now been delayed.
Fans have already questioned the reasons for United taking six-and-a-half-months to make their decision known.
Greater Manchester Police announced on February 2 that Greenwood no longer faced criminal proceedings. He had been charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.
However, the internal investigation has now entered a consultation phase with key stakeholders, including members of the women’s team. Some of these players are still taking part in the Women’s World Cup in Australia such as our Lioness trio of Mary Earps, Ella Toone and Katie Zelem.
England play their quarter-final on Saturday and if they win they would stay until the weekend of 19-20 August. That means the Greenwood decision is likely to drag on longer when United had hoped to make public the decision before their first Premier League game at home to Wolves on Monday.
Hopefully, if United are taking more time out to make their decision, they are ensure it’s the correct one.
It was announced this morning that a group of female Manchester United fans have come together to protest the potential reintegration of Greenwood. They outlined their mission in statement as seen below.
