Mason Greenwood’s Return to United Cleared as Major Sponsor Grants Approval – Report
Manchester United’s primary benefactor has approved Mason Greenwood’s return to the team, providing him with a significant career boost.
The Sun reports that Adidas has granted their approval for Greenwood’s potential reintegration into the United team.
Greenwood has obviously not played for United since he was detained and charged with attempted rape, controlling behavior, and assault in January 2022.
Later, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all charges against him, citing the absence of crucial witnesses.
United has conducted their own investigation into the matter since then.
The conclusion of the club’s internal investigation is anticipated to determine whether or not the player will continue his career at Old Trafford.
After Atalanta dampened their interest in the forward, the Peoples Person reported that the Red Devils are no longer actively seeking to loan him out.
The Sun now reports that “secret talks” are currently taking place between United and Adidas.
These negotiations have thus far been characterized as “positive.”
According to the news source, United executives are anticipated to make a final and conclusive decision within the coming weeks.
“The player is already back training with Man United’s blessing.”
“Old Trafford staff are overseeing the England ace’s regime and he has spoken more than once with boss Erik ten Hag.
Hopes of a playing return, after charges against him including attempted rape were dropped, have been raised by the talks.”
The expectation is that a commitment from an institution of Adidas’s size, stature, and influence would be crucial to securing the support of other sponsors for the 21-year-old’s return.
A source said to The Sun,
“The initial signals from Adidas are positive. Without their blessing it would be hard to see a way back. But they have communicated his return would not necessarily be an insurmountable obstacle.”
“They have certainly given the impression they would not be fiercely opposed to it.”
The source also explained that United will take public opinion into account. If the 20-time English champions decide to re-sign him, sponsors are not anticipated to walk out in protest.
Greenwood desires to remain and collaborate with Ten Hag.
When contacted by The Sun for comment, Adidas merely stated,
“That’s a question for the club. As sponsors we have no influence over team line-ups.”
It is now United’s turn to defend.
