Mason Greenwood, 21, had been charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault. But Greater Manchester Police announced on February 2 that Greenwood “no longer faces criminal proceedings”.
The Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges against Greenwood and United have been conducting their own process as they “determine the next steps”.
United have spent around five months mulling over Greenwood’s future.
The Manchester Evening News reported at the beginning of the month that Manchester United are leaning towards loaning Mason Greenwood, with Erik ten Hag against selling the forward.
Now, according to The Sun, secret talks have been held between the club and major sponsors, Adidas, appeared to have ‘gone well’.
The outlet quoted a source as saying: “The initial signals from Adidas are positive. Without their blessing it would be hard to see a way back. But they have communicated his return would not necessarily be an insurmountable obstacle.
