Another user wrote, “Brightest talent from carrington in the last decade gone just like that.” It seems like fans know that the law would find Mason guilty and nothing can be done to reverse in the incidents. As the fan mentioned, many addressed Greenwood as the best talent to come up the ranks at United in the last decade.
Regardless of the court verdict on Mason Greenwood, he has been charged. Manchester United must terminate his contract and remove his name from all things Manchester United, and for the ones that supported him, seek help, immediately.

He was Man Utd through and through, having played in the academy since he was 6 years old. Mason signed his first professional contract with the club in 2018, right after his 17th birthday. Although many have only looked at the charges from the sport’s perspective, a few have publicly supported Harriet Robson.
Regarding Mason Greenwood it’s not a young man’s career ruined it’s a young woman’s life scarred. No matter what punishment Mason gets it’ll never been enough for Harriet Robson. Her life has been ruined because of a disgusting horrible creature.

That’s it for Mason Greenwood and rightly so. He’s almost certainly going to prison if the CPS believe there’s enough there to charge him. Now over to Manchester United for a contract termination.
