Manchester United statement
A statement from Manchester United was expected over the player, who remains under employment with the club.
He was formally suspended after his arrest in January 2022.
The club statement read: “Manchester United notes the decision of the Crown Prosecution Service that all charges against Mason Greenwood have been dropped.

There is no timeframe provided by United for a decision on the player. It is sensible from the club to take their time before arriving at a decision over the player’s future.
The decision facing United has moral and legal dilemmas for the club to assess, aside from considering any on-pitch impact the player may provide.
Greenwood or his representatives or family have not yet commented.
He is currently listed as a striker on the club’s official website among the rest of the first team players, and he was included in the squad list provided to the Premier League earlier this season.
