Mason Greenwood
Mason Greenwood, 21, had been charged with attempted rape and assault, but the Crown Prosecution Service said the case had been dropped because “the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.” In the event that Man Utd prevent Greenwood from returning to the first team, he is planning a dramatic move, and Man City are interested in signing a Brighton player.
On Friday, Erik Ten Hag declined to make any direct remarks regarding Greenwood’s situation. Instead, he referred to a statement from Manchester United that stated, “the club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps” in regards to the academy graduate, who has been banned from playing and training since January 2022.
Greenwood is “eyeing a football career in China if Manchester United sack him,” and this could change based on the outcome of the internal investigation.
The England international “told friends he had no intention of playing for United again” after the club suspended him last year, but he has now “begrudgingly” accepted United’s position.
The Sun was told by a source: He was clear at the time that he didn’t want to wear the red shirt again. He had the impression that the club was against him.

According to Spanish publication Fichajes, Bernardo Silva is also “wanting to go to La Liga,” and “everything seems to indicate that he will leave the club.”
It is understood that in the transfer market, Guardiola has “a clear request for next summer,” with World Cup winner Mac Allister at the top of his list.
The manager of Man City “is a fan” of the Argentina international, and based on his Premier League experiences at Brighton, he “will adapt quickly.”
The report adds that in order to lure Mac Allister away during the summer window, a bid of approximately €40 million would be required. Mac Allister still has a contract that runs through the summer of 2025.
