Manchester United Plc footballer Mason Greenwood will not return to play for the club after it concluded an internal investigation, less than a week after a leaked plan to reintegrate him into the club sparked controversy.

Greenwood, 21, hasn’t played for the club since January 2022. Since then the police launched a probe into the footballer, arrested him and released him on bail. In October 2022, three charges against him were made public by the police, including attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour.
