MASON Greenwood’s Man United future has been placed in further doubt after politicians voiced their opposition to an Old Trafford return.
Yesterday local Labour MP Andrew Western urged the club to “do what’s right”.
Greenwood has been suspended since he was arrested in January 2022.
Charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped last February.
We revealed yesterday United are on the brink of a U-turn which could block his comeback.
Bosses were ready to announce the 21-year-old was returning after a club probe into his conduct.
Mr Western’s comments were echoed by Labour cllr Fianna Hornby, who tweeted: “I always stand in solidarity with survivors of domestic violence, so consider me ‘hostile’.”
A United spokesman said: “Manchester United has planned for various potential scenarios in relation to the future of Mason Greenwood.
“This is a difficult and sensitive case.
“It is entirely proper that we have taken a careful and thorough approach to planning for the various potential outcomes, including how we would engage with stakeholders and explain the decision after it is made.”
