Sir Jim Ratcliffe will take control of several delicate matters as soon as his £1.3billion deal for a 25 per cent stake in Manchester United is ratified. Mason Greenwood is the subject of one early decision United’s new board will face as he continues his return to football on loan at Getafe.
Greenwood hasn’t played for United since January 2022 when he was arrested and later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, all of which he denied.
In February this year, following the withdrawal of key witnesses, the UK’s Crown Prosecution Service announced it had discontinued the charges.
The 22-year-old forward was reportedly set for a reintegration into Erik ten Hag’s squad in the summer before chief executive Richard Arnold performed a U-turn due to internal and external backlash.
But Arnold has since left his role at Old Trafford in anticipation of Sir Jim’s sporting overhaul, with INEOS figure Jean-Claude Blanc widely expected to replace him as CEO.
That won’t be the only change in the hierarchy as the Glazer family prepares to transfer control over United’s football operations to Sir Jim and INEOS.
It could offer Greenwood a reprieve at Old Trafford based on how determined Sir Jim is to do things his way at the club he’s supported since childhood.
