    Greenwood leaves Man Utd by mutual consent

    Why did it take so long to sort? Can't believe that Man Utd contemplated bringing him back into the fold at one point.

    It's only the public backlash that's prevented him rejoining his fellow players.

    All charges dropped but hung by social media.

    This is a bizarre position.

    Charges dropped just means there wasn't deemed sufficient possibility to proceed with a criminal trial.

    The public is well within it's rights to make their own mind up and decide that his published behaviour was reheprensible even if it wasn't deemed worth taking to court by the CPS.

    What is going to be achieved by leaving Manchester United because there will be the same ''up roar'' at any club who may want to sign him.These situations always intrigue me. What do some people actually want to happen to him? They state they will boycott games,organise protests etc,but they never put forward how they want him to spend the rest of his life. If he worked assembling 'Meal Deals' at Mcdonalds they'd probably be happy but wouldn't give a damn about all the female colleagues he'd invariably be working with and wouldn't think twice about nipping into another branch half way across the country!

    He'll probably go abroad. He might fit in well in Saudi.

    We should offer him a free. One injury-raddled training session on the Roundwood minefields would soon dampen his ardour...

    Do you know why the charges were dropped? He certainly wasn't found to be innocent.

    The case was dropped because the victim decided not to testify.

    Isn’t the issue here that although he may not be guilty of anything criminal he may have crossed the line in terms of how MUFC expect their Employees to conduct themselves and not bring the club into disrepute and bring bad publicity.
    All this is likely to have been written into his Contract and all other players. Ditto RUFC I would have thought.

    Salacious albeit not breaking the law isn’t acceptable

    They’ve cut ties with him so they must be confident the player can’t challenge what they’ve done
