• Embattled forward Mason Greenwood parted ways with Manchester United on Monday, August 21
• The decision was confirmed in a statement with United stating he will not continue at Old Trafford
• Greenwood has not played a game for the Red Devils since January 2022 when he was suspended

Mason Greenwood has broken his silence after parting ways with Manchester United.

United announced they had cut ties with the star forward on August 21, after concluding an internal probe following Greenwood's arrest back in January 2022.

The Englishman was arrested and faced a string of charges, including assault and coercive behaviour.

However, he was left off the hook earlier in the year after the prosecution resolved to drop all the charges the youngster was facing.

The Red Devils were initially expected to reintegrate Greenwood back into the squad but decided against the move, pending an internal probe.

Man United part ways with Greenwood

After months of investigation, United announced on Monday that a decision had been made Greenwood will not continue at Old Trafford.

"All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United," the statement said in part.

"It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome."

Greenwood speaks about United split

The Man United academy graduate has since delivered his own statement in the wake of the developments surrounding his future at the club.

In the statement, the England international expressed his gratitude to the Old Trafford club for the support throughout the period he was out of action.

"I am learning to understand my responsibilities to set a good example as a professional footballer, and I’m focused on the big responsibility of being a father, as well as a good partner," he said in a statement shared by Fabrizio Romano.

Greenwood added that the decision was part of a collaborative process between Man United, his family, and himself.

"The best decision for us all, is for me to continue my football career away from Old Trafford, where my presence will not be a distraction for the club. I thank the club for their support since I joined aged seven. There will always be a part of me which is United," he added.
