Manchester United and several prominent La Liga clubs have expressed interest in Mason Greenwood, prompting Manchester United to reveal their asking price for the player.
Allegedly, Manchester United is grappling with internal discord as certain players express reservations about the possible return of Mason Greenwood to the team, fearing potential disruptions to their season.
Greenwood, who was recently cleared of charges including attempted rape, assault, and controlling and coercive behavior, faced arrest in January of the previous year after troubling videos and images surfaced online.
Despite the Crown Prosecution Service dropping the charges, The Sun reports that some United squad members harbor concerns about Greenwood’s comeback, citing worries about potential distractions and increased scrutiny.
According to a source, “While players are open to the idea of him rejoining the team, the intense scrutiny could be a significant distraction.
The current dressing room atmosphere is the most positive it has been in some time, and nobody wants to jeopardize that.”
In response to the CPS’s decision, Manchester United issued a statement acknowledging the dropped charges and affirmed that the club would conduct its own internal review before making decisions regarding Greenwood’s future involvement.
The statement emphasized the club’s commitment to conducting a thorough internal examination of the matter.
Meanwhile, under Erik ten Hag’s leadership, the team has been enjoying a successful streak in both the Premier League and the Carabao Cup.
Currently third in the league standings after a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace, United has also secured a spot in the Carabao Cup final, set to face Newcastle at Wembley Stadium at month’s end.
The reported unrest among squad members adds complexity to United’s season as players consider the potential impact of Greenwood’s return on team cohesion.
The club’s statement underscores their cautious approach in addressing the situation internally before making further determinations about Greenwood’s role within the team.
