Despite reports that Mason Greenwood has been re-added to the club’s website and may make a surprise return to the team, he remains unavailable for game selections in Manchester United.
Mason Greenwood, who is being arrested on suspicion of rape, assault, and threats to kill, was suspended by the club at the end of January and later released on bail by Greater Manchester Police.
The allegations of rape and assault leveled by his 19-year-old girlfriend sparked widespread outrage, with Nike suspending its sponsorship contract with Greenwood and United removing all products related to him from their online store.
He has also been deleted from the FIFA 22 and Football Manager 2022 video games, as well as from United’s app.
Nevertheless, on Wednesday evening, March 31, social media claims surfaced, claiming that Greenwood had been re-added to the club’s website, with his picture appearing under the first-team squad and player pages.
However, United has now disclosed that Greenwood was never taken off the website in the first place and that he was simply removed from the app to protect him from interactive components. Greenwood will not be returning to the United squad anytime soon, according to Manchester United.
The club said, “Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind.
“As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further.”
The 20-year-old England striker hasn’t played for United since the Premier League match against West Ham on January 22, just a week before the allegations were made public.
