Club legend? Yeahhh right
A group of Manchester United supporters are plotting a series of protests to make it clear they do not want Mason Greenwood to be reintegrated into the club’s plans. The fans, who are all regular Old Trafford match-goers, intend to make their feelings clear outside the stadium before United’s opening game of the season at home to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday. A banner has been made, in United’s colours, with the message: “Female Fans Demand No Greenwood Return – End Violence Against Women.” “It’s time for the club to stand up and make the right decision,” one of the organisers told The Athletic, speaking on condition of anonymity due to fears of being targeted by Greenwood’s supporters. “It’s time to say, ‘We have high standards at United about how we expect players to conduct themselves and, if you do not meet those standards, you need to be moved out’. “This is a tipping point for the club. Are they going to side with commercialism and trophies and money? Or are they going to take the side of match-going fans, and the club being a social and community institution that we can be proud of, and proud to have as part of our identity?” Greenwood, 21, has not played for United since he was arrested in January 2022 relating to a tape being released on social media of an alleged sexual attack. He subsequently faced a police investigation resulting in charges against him for attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Greenwood denied all the alleged offences. *continued in article*

I genuinely question whether he has the quality required for United though? He hasn't played professional football for something around eighteen months now - no amount of training will make up for that.
Tbh, it would be very funny if United brought him back and he played like shit.

Eh, why? I was under the impression that this is because PSG owners agreed to a very stupid contract and Mbappé is holding them to it.
