Greenwood was initially arrested in January of the previous year when alarming recordings and photographs were discovered on the internet. Recently, charges of attempted rape, assault, and controlling and coercive behavior were dropped against Greenwood.
According to The Sun, members of the United team are nervous about Greenwood’s comeback, expressing concerns about the possible distractions and scrutiny that it would bring. This is despite the fact that the Crown Prosecution Service has decided to withdraw the charges against Greenwood.
It was stated by a source that the players are open to the possibility of him returning to the club; nevertheless, the attention may be extremely distracting. There is no one who wants to upset the mood in the dressing room since it is at its happiest it has been in a very long time.
Manchester United issued a statement in response to the decision made by the CPS. In the statement, the club acknowledged that the charges had been withdrawn and stated that the club would complete its own process before deciding what the next steps would be. It was highlighted in the statement that the club is committed to ensuring that an internal review is conducted thoroughly.
The team coached by Erik ten Hag, on the other hand, has been having a prosperous run in both the Premier League and the Carabao Cup. Following their victory over Crystal Palace by a score of 2-1, United has not only clinched a berth in the Carabao Cup final, but they are also currently in third place in the league ranking. At the conclusion of this month, they are scheduled to match up against Newcastle at Wembley Stadium.
As the players consider the potential influence that Greenwood’s return could have on the dynamics of the club, the unhappiness that has been reported inside the group adds an additional layer of difficulty to United’s season. The statement released by the club emphasizes the cautious approach they are taking in addressing the problem internally before making any additional choices on Greenwood’s engagement with the squad.
