Club reverse their decision on Greenwood after hostile reception to plans to reintegrate him to the first team
with the club’s executive leadership in the first week of August to inform them the plan was for Greenwood to return.United insisted last week a decision “had not yet been made” but, in light of the strong critical reaction to the revelations in the story and, the club held crisis talks on Friday. They have since decided not to reintegrate Greenwood with the first team at this stage.
The club, and Arnold himself, have received emails of criticism from United supporters in recent days, voicing their concerns over the possible reinstatement of the 21-year-old, who has not played for United since January 22, 2022. The CPS said there was “no longer a realistic prospect of conviction” after key witnesses withdrew their cooperation from the investigation. Greenwood denied all the alleged offences.Speaking for the first time since the case was dropped, Greenwood reiterated that stance while admitting to “mistakes” and wanting “to take my share of responsibility”.
“I am enormously grateful to my family and all my loved ones for their support, and it is now for me to repay the trust those around me have shown. I intend to be a better footballer, but most importantly a good father, a better person, and to use my talents in a positive way on and off the pitch.”Some members of staff were prepared to consider their positions at United in the event Greenwood returned and others began to explore going on strike or resigning.
