Richard Arnold addressed numerous troublesome topics during a no-holds-barred meeting with Manchester United staff this month, according to reports. And the Red Devils chief executive confirmed the latest on potential plans to welcome Mason Greenwood back to the club after his season-long loan at Getafe.<\/p>\n
In August, reports claimed that Arnold had informed United staff that the plan was to reintegrate Greenwood into Erik ten Hag’s squad this season.<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old forward hasn’t featured for United since January 2022, when he was arrested. He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive and controlling behaviour.<\/p>\n
Greenwood denied all allegations, and the Crown Prosecution dropped all charges against him in February of this year, prompting a six-month internal probe into whether he should remain at the club.<\/p>\n
After a reported U-turn on his stance due to mass backlash, Arnold confirmed that United were satisfied Greenwood was innocent and had mutually agreed to help him resume his career elsewhere.<\/p>\n
On deadline day, the England international completed a loan move to La Liga outfit Getafe. He made his debut against Osasuna last weekend.<\/p>\n
United communicated that it was highly unlikely that Greenwood would represent the club again beyond his temporary expedition in Spain.<\/p>\n
