Manchester United’s chief executive, Richard Arnold, reportedly announced to senior staff on August 4th that Mason Greenwood would be making a comeback to the club. This revelation comes after the conclusion of an internal investigation into the events surrounding Greenwood’s arrest in January 2022, which led to speculation about his future.
In a statement released by the 20-time English champions, it was confirmed that their fact-finding phase of the investigation had been completed. The club is now in the final stages of determining Greenwood’s future; however, they emphasized that no official decision has been made yet and that internal discussions are ongoing.
According to The Athletic, Richard Arnold informed the club’s executive leadership earlier this month about Greenwood’s return for the upcoming 2023-24 campaign. The report suggests that Arnold intended to record a video explaining the club’s decision, addressing the criticisms surrounding their choice.
Despite his comeback, it is alleged that Mason Greenwood will not participate in any activities associated with the Manchester United Foundation, the club’s charitable arm. Since his absence from the public eye following the events in January 2022, the forward has been training privately and is eager to resume his career.
Greenwood’s last appearance for the Red Devils was during a match against West Ham United on January 22, 2022, where he contributed to their 1-0 victory by playing 82 minutes. With 129 appearances, 35 goals, and 12 assists to his name, Greenwood still has two years remaining on his contract with Manchester United.
While no official announcement has been made regarding Greenwood’s future at the club, recent indications suggest that the possibility of a loan exit has diminished. Fans and observers eagerly await further news from Manchester United concerning their plans for the talented English forward
