Man utd squad's view on mason greenwood returning as ten hag rings

Manchester United's female players are reportedly 'strongly' against the idea of Mason Greenwood returning to the club. And the men's dressing room is also unsure that

welcoming him back would be the right thing to do amid risk of his return derailing Erik ten Hag's progress this season. United suspended Greenwood in January 2022 after he was arrested

on suspicion of rape and assault after a woman posted allegations via pictures, videos and sound clips on social media. Earlier this month, the Crown Prosecution withdrew charges of

attempted rape, actual bodily harm and coercive or controlling behaviour. The decision came after the woman central to the case was included in 12 witnesses who refused to cooperate.

Greenwood remains suspended by United while the club complete an internal investigation into whether he should be allowed to return. However, according to The Athletic, United's

women's team would strongly oppose such an outcome. JUST IN: ARSENAL BOSS ARTETA RECOMMENDED MADDISON TRANSFER TO HELP ODEGAARD Another report claims Ten Hag has been in contact with

the 21-year-old forward for the first time since becoming manager last summer. The Dutchman had only contacted him through a third party but rang him after the charges were dropped to see

how he was doing physically and mentally. Greenwood 'appreciated' the call, which 'lifted his spirits', but Ten Hag also stressed that the decision to reintroduce him to

the squad was down to the club, not him. United are understood to have sounded out club sponsors about whether the England international should be allowed to continue his career at Old

Trafford as their probe continues. WANT THE LATEST FOOTBALL NEWS? JOIN OUR BRAND NEW FACEBOOK GROUP BY CLICKING HERE
