Mason Greenwood has spoken to Man United manager Erik ten Hag
Mason Greenwood has reportedly spoken to Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag after attempted rape and assault charges against him were dropped.
Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 after videos and images were posted online, with the club deciding to suspend him on full pay.
The charges against him were dropped last week when 12 witnesses refused to co-operate, and it has emerged that the complainant had wanted to retract her accusations since last April.
United responded to the news by announcing that they would be carrying out an internal investigation to determine their next steps.
In the meantime, Ten Hag has reached out to Greenwood to check on the player’s physical and mental state, and told the 21-year-old he was happy that the charges had been dropped, according to The Sun.
A source told The Sun: ‘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.
‘The manager enquired how he was feeling physically and mentally and said he was pleased the charges had been dropped.
‘He thought it was the right thing to do to get in touch with Mason.’
