Manchester United stars reportedly do not want Mason Greenwood back in the side over fears their season could be disrupted.Greenwood recently saw charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour against him dropped.
The 21-year-old was initially arrested in January last year over the allegations following the emergence of disturbing videos and images posted online by a woman.It was announced on Thursday that the Crown Prosecution Service decided to drop the charges.
However, The Sun are reporting that the United squad have concerns over how Greenwood’s return could affect their season.A source told them: “The players are open to him returning to the team but the scrutiny could be massively distracting.“The dressing room is the happiest it has been for ages and no one wants to rock the boat.”
United released a statement following the decision from the CPS that read: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
“The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”Erik ten Hag’s side have been in superb form as of late in both the Premier League and Carabao Cup.
United now sit third in the league table following their 2-1 win over Crystal Palace.They have also reached the Carabao Cup final, where they will face Newcastle at Wembley at the end of the month.
