Manchester United has concluded its internal investigation into the allegations made against Mason Greenwood. Our process commenced in February 2023, following all charges against Mason being dropped. Throughout, we have taken into account the wishes, rights and perspective of the alleged victim along with the club’s standards and values, and sought to collate as much information and context as possible. This has required us to proceed with sensitivity and care to obtain evidence not in the public domain, including from those with direct knowledge of the case.

Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.

All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.

    It’s a bit apalling that they still say he didn’t commit the offenses.

    No means no.

    Watch him end up at trabsponzor or something.

      And the physical abuse in images… doesn’t mean he’s innocent, just that they couldn’t push forward with an unwilling victim (due to him breaching his bail conditions and knocking her up).

        The amount of people that are saying he was found “innocent” is staggering. The charges were dropped because of withdrawal of witness testimony (which happened after he broke bail to contact the victim). No one was found innocent of anything, the media and anyone reporting this should plaster the timeline and get the facts straight for people. The Greater Manchester police didn’t do shite when he broke bail, shows how much the legal system actually helps and protects the victims
