Published August 21, 2023 9:14 AM

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — Manchester United say Mason Greenwood will leave the club after a criminal investigation of possible attempted rape was closed by prosecutors six months ago. The 21-year-old England forward has not played for United since January 2022. His future remained unclear during the club’s own investigation. United says “All those involved, including Mason, recognize the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United”. Greenwood says he “did not do the things I was accused of” but accepted he had “made mistakes in my relationship”.
