Manchester United and Mason Greenwood have reached a mutual decision for him to leave the club following an internal investigation into his conduct.
The allegations that led to his arrest in January 2022 were dropped in February 2023. While the evidence suggests he didn't commit the initial offences, both parties agree it's best for him to continue his career elsewhere to avoid distraction.
Greenwood acknowledges his mistakes and aims to grow as a person and footballer. His contract runs until 2025, but he might be sold or loaned to another club.
In a statement, the Red Devils said, "Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for.
"All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United. It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome."
