Manchester United are ready to start a new season trying to dethrone Manchester City as the best team in the Premier League. This will be the second year of a promising rebuilding process under coach Erik ten Hag.
However, Mason Greenwood is not part of that project. On January of 2022, the player was arrested as a suspect of attempted rape and assault. Then, just a few months ago, all the charges were dropped in England after the withdrawal of main witnesses.
