Mark Goldbridge details three-point plan for how Man Utd should handle Mason Greenwood situation

Greenwood has not played for United since January 2022.

Manchester United super-fan and YouTuber Mark Goldbridge has offered his twopence on the Mason Greenwood situation.

Greenwood has not played for the Red Devils since January 2022, when he was suspended by the club after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.

In October 2022, he was charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

However, those charges were discontinued in February this year. A statement released by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) claimed that "a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction".

As a result, United have been pondering over Greenwood's future, with suggestions that he may be reintegrated into the side or even sent out on loan.

The 21-year-old was not named in the club's travelling squad for their pre-season tour of the United States. However, he was pictured in Dubai training alongside his now former team-mate Anthony Elanga.

The forward remains contracted at Old Trafford until 2025, and Goldbridge has offered his thoughts on what Ten Hag should do with him this season.

The talkSPORT pundit originally asked fans how they would feel if Greenwood was brought back into the fold immediately.

Goldbridge then replied to his tweet, detailing a three-point plan which included him going out on loan.

"Mine is a year loan is obviously the best choice," Goldbridge wrote.

"1. Doesn't cause a s***storm

"2. Doesn't derail our season with media Greenwood obsession

"3. The player can focus on returning to football away from the mental pressure of the media and fan backlash. Away games in particular"

Just last month, it was claimed that United were keen to loan Greenwood out next season with Ten Hag 'reluctant' to sell the player.

In a recent interview with The Times, the United boss admitted that Greenwood had "showed in the past that he is capable of doing that [centre forward role]" but said the decision over his future was out of his hands.

Greenwood released a short statement after the charges against him were dropped, which made no mention of his football career and plans for the future.

"I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support," read the statement.

"There will be no further comment at this time."
