Man Utd ‘accept Mason Greenwood may NOT return to training this season’ after rape case against him dropped
MANCHESTER UNITED have accepted that Mason Greenwood may not return to the club until next season at the earliest amid an internal investigation.
The footy star, 21, has been suspended from the team since January last year after he was arrested on rape and assault charges.
And while all charges against Greenwood were dropped, Man Utd is carrying out an internal probe.
The Sun understands that club bosses feel that a return to training for the young star this season is unlikely as the investigation drags on.
They are understood to have been considering his future for some time, but do not wish to be rushed into a decision.
In February, Greenwood had all charges against him dropped due to after the CPS found there was "no longer a realistic prospect of conviction".
