I am a manchester united fan, and I remember seeing this news all over social media last year. He was one of our own, coming through from the academy and rising to become one of the upcoming star players for the next decade. I was a massive fan of mason greenwood, since his breakout season, and I even had his kit from that season. I was devasted to hear about this news, but we should have seen it coming. As you mentioned, he was also involved with trouble in the past, and this made me think that clubs, especially clubs with such a high reputation, like Manchester United, to not only develop young players as footballers but also as people. This also made me remember that at the end of the day, these people are normal people and are not perfect.

Recently, it has been reported that the charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped, and there are also rumours that the victim, Harriet Robson is now pregnant with Mason Greenwood. There has also been reports that Mason Greenwood could be back to playing football professionally rightfully so, due to being innocent by law in the UK. In my opinion, I really miss the player Mason Greenwood, but there is a big part of me that believes that he should never play for my team ever again. However, I know his outstanding ability on the football pitch, so I also do not want to see him ball out on another team.

I feel that this case should be a wake-up call for youth teams and football academies to make sure they develop the players as a person, not just for their footballing ability.
