Rachel Riley accuses Manchester United of 'gaslighting' and 'green lighting' abuse for their handling of the decision to part company with Mason Greenwood.
Less than a minute agoMason Greenwood's last appearance for Manchester United was against West Ham in January 2022
And Greenwood issued a statement saying he accepted he had "made mistakes" and took his "share of responsibility", but added: "I did not do the things I was accused of." "The question before them [United] was not whether Mason Greenwood may be found guilty in a criminal, or even civil court, it was whether he's fit to wear the United badge, to be a role model to kids who look up to footballers as heroes, and have his name proudly displayed on shirts sold in the club shop," Riley wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
He was later charged in October 2022 with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Arnold said the club had "limited powers of investigation" and "were reliant on third-party cooperation" as they "sought to collate as much evidence as possible to establish facts and context".
