The Premier League season is back, and Manchester United is ready to fight for the title. With a few notable additions to the roster, Erik ten Hag looks determined to pose a serious title challenge. However, the question remains, what about their 21-year-old sidelined star, who spent nine days in prison over assault charges last year and said about Cristiano Ronaldo, “He’s dead“?

Yes, you guessed it right. The player in question is Mason Greenwood, and the Red Devils are mulling over integrating the star into the club. However, the ongoing FIFA Women’s World Cup has delayed the decision. But why does the decision depend on the ongoing World Cup? Let’s find out. 

Manchester United wants to involve all its stakeholders 

The controversy struck United last year when Greater Manchester Police arrested Greenwood on January 30. Greenwood’s girlfriend accused the soccer player of the assault. Meanwhile, the court granted the player bail on February 2, 2022. The player was again taken into custody on October 15 for breaching the bail conditions and released on October 19. In the meantime, United suspended the player indefinitely.

Earlier this year, the case turned upside down after the court dropped all the charges against Greenwood. As a result, Manchester United opened its internal investigation, which they recently concluded after six months. And the club wants to find a solution by involving all the stakeholders in the decision.

The Red Devils will talk to sponsors, and all the team’s players, including the women’s team. It seems there will be a delay as a few United women’s team players are on World Cup duty. Meanwhile, the player is listed on the Premier League’s website. Recently rumors suggested Greenwood was contemplating various options to return to the field. But as United gears up to know the opinions of everyone concerned, the solution to the player’s future is close.

Why did Greenwood call Cristiano Ronaldo “dead?”

Greenwood has been with United since 6. However, club officials once called him out for his brutal tone and ordered him to refrain. It was because he labeled Cristiano Ronaldo’s Real Madrid career as “dead” in 2018 after the Portuguese achieved a three-peat with Los Blancos. Moreover, he verbally attacked his teammates when he felt they aren’t on his level.

The Athletic recently made the revelations. It also claimed the star threatened to join Manchester City when there was tension during the training. Contracted with United till 2025, Greenwood will hope for immediate resolution of his future, as the transfer window is approaching its end.
