Manchester, UK – According to reports, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has been in touch with forward Mason Greenwood, following recent charges against the player that have since been dropped.
The club is reportedly conducting its own internal investigation into the matter, but Ten Hag’s call to Greenwood is seen as a positive step in supporting the player.
The charges of attempted rape, assault and engaging in controlling and coercive behavior were dropped by the Crown Prosecution Service due to a lack of evidence. Despite this, Greenwood’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain as the club continues its investigation.
Sources close to Greenwood say that the player appreciated the call from Ten Hag, as he had received very little contact from the club since his suspension in the wake of the initial arrest.
The source stated, “Mason has spent a long time with very little, if any, contact from the club. As and when they were in touch, it was never direct and always through a third party. So for the manager to call him was a big step for him and one he really appreciated.”
Ten Hag is said to have asked Greenwood how he was feeling physically and mentally, and expressed his pleasure that the charges have been dropped. This personal touch from the manager shows the club’s concern for its players and is an important aspect of supporting a player during a difficult time.
It is not uncommon for clubs to conduct internal investigations when a player is facing legal proceedings. The investigation helps the club determine what steps they may need to take to address any issues that may have arisen from the situation.
The recent developments in Greenwood’s case are a positive step forward, and it remains to be seen what the outcome of the club’s investigation will be. Regardless, the manager’s call to the player shows Manchester United’s commitment to supporting its players and maintaining a positive relationship with its team.
