Ever since the shocking allegations of rape and assault were laid on him, many have called for Man United to terminate Mason Greenwood’s contract.
However, a lawyer John Mehrzad QC has revealed why that could be difficult, telling The Athletic: “I don’t think they have enough to sack him unless he makes an admission. If he denies the allegations, it all turns on a trial.
“United can plainly reach a settlement agreement with him to terminate pre-trial but I cannot see that happening.
“It would be terrible PR for United to pay off a player facing such allegations, and why would he agree to it when he continues to be paid and no other club will touch him unless the allegations are dropped or he is acquitted?”
United have only indefinitely suspended Greenwood for the time being and are still paying him his wages. The Englishman is currently out on bail after being arrested last week following his girlfriend provided evidence of his alleged abuse.
The Red Devils have stopped Mason’s merchandise on their stores and are not mentioning him on any platforms, as they’re just blocking him out for the time being.
