Domestic abuse campaigner’s fury as footballers and pundits fail to speak out about Mason Greenwood’s return to Man Utd

A DOMESTIC abuse campaigner has accused footballers and pundits of staying silent in the Mason Greenwood row.
Man United could allow the striker, 21, back following its probe into his conduct after charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling coercive behaviour were dropped in February.
But the prospect of him returning to the squad has sparked fury with some.
David Challen’s mum Sally was released from jail after her conviction for murdering her abusive husband was reduced to manslaughter.
He tweeted: “Thus far no big male players/ex-players or pundits have spoken out about Greenwood.
“All for talking a good game about inclusivity and #HerGameToo but when it comes to speaking out against male violence against women they are nowhere to be seen.”

Some female fans protested outside Old Trafford before the team’s first game of the season on Monday.
Others have written to club chief executive Richard Arnold urging him not to let Greenwood rejoin the squad.
United has delayed announcing its decision to avoid distracting its players in the Lionesses squad for tomorrow’s women’s World Cup final.
