D-Day is coming up for Greenwood. Can he restart his career?

On Monday, Manchester United will enter the new Premier League season with a match against Wolves. Before kick-off, Erik ten Haag wants to be clear on a few things. One of them is the decision regarding Mason Greenwood.

He played his last game for Manchester United on January 22, 2022 against West Ham in a 1: 0 win. Since then he has been out of the squad, in custody or in court. The story of Mason Greenwood has been one of the main topics in the English media. The football world was disappointed with the actions of one of the greatest talents of the new generation.

The audio recording, captured and published by his girlfriend Harriot Robson, left no one cold. Everyone was clear about the fate of the Manchester United striker.

The case was investigated by the police for more than a year, and United, quite logically, put their youngster out of the squad. In the spring of this year, the decision was announced. According to the police, Mason Greenwood did not commit domestic violence against his girlfriend.

To make matters worse, a few weeks after the verdict, Harriet and Mason announced that they were expecting a child together. A surprising moment for everyone, as having a baby with a woman who has accused you of domestic violence and apparently cost you the rest of your football career is not something you see often.

It’s even more surprising coming from Harriet, who reports her boyfriend for domestic violence and then announces a child together.

Erik ten Haag kept saying in press conferences that the decision regarding Greenwood’s future was in the hands of the club’s management and there was nothing he could do about it. The women’s team announced to the world that they did not want Greenwood at the club.

However, teammates voted in the locker room that they would welcome the former teammate in the locker room. Let’s not forget the contract Greenwood has at United until June 30, 2025 with a weekly salary of £75,000.

In recent days, videos of Greenwood training with his father on the pitch have leaked. It is clear from the videos how long the player has not kicked a ball. Quite logically, even a talent like Greenwood undoubtedly has, a year and a half without football will show.

Whether Greenwood will develop further at United or another club will be clear before the opening game.

Will we witness the rebirth of one of football’s greatest talents or will this story go down in history as another wasted talent? A decision will be made in the next few days, let’s hope the Manchester United management make the right decision.
