TV presenter Rachel Riley says she’ll stop supporting Manchester United if Mason Greenwood returns


Television presenter Rachel Riley has said she will discontinue her support for Manchester United if forward Mason Greenwood is allowed to remain at the club

United had stated no decision has been made about the England player’s future. The Old Trafford outfit say it is still the “subject of intensive internal deliberation”.

21-year-old Greenwood had denied the criminal charges levelled against him which includes assault and attempted rape.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prosecution Service dropped all the charges against the player on 2nd February.

“I won’t be able to support United if Greenwood remains at the club,” she said on Thursday.

Riley wrote on social media: “We’ve all seen and heard enough. Pretending this is OK would be a huge part of the problem.

“It would be devastating for my club to contribute to a culture that brushes this under the carpet. I really hope they do the right thing.”

Final decisions on Greenwood’s future to be made soon

On Wednesday, United said in a statement that the “fact-finding phase” of their investigation was now complete.

They added a decision about Greenwood’s future was already in the final stages. However, as expected, the final decision “ultimately rests” with chief executive officer Richard Arnold.

It is strongly perceived that United’s intention over the Greenwood situation is for him return in some form. However, the criticism and backlash from fans, among other things, has made the club pause.
