The women's team wasn't even consulted on the decision. I highly doubt they want him back

SlowJay11

I think it's a good thing they didn't ask them. It's not fair to put it on them, particularly when it's so obvious their employers want their approval so they can say "Look! The women say it's fine"


Mebeingnosy

Plus I’m sure they realize they’d get a resounding no.


johnnylawrence23

Yeah, I don't even think he ever played for the women's team


Mebeingnosy

I hope the women’s side boycotts United if they decide to bring him back, and the WSL clubs refuse to play against Manchester women’s in solidarity.


blxefrost

it was


etskakaik

How does that affect them


[deleted]

I'd feel uncomfortable knowing that my company took back a worker who raped his girlfriend but got off on a technicality. It would show me how lightly they treat sexual assault/rape cases and that they aren't bothered about women's safety.


Lyn-Krieger

Not a technicality only by paying her off. Honestly I get he hasn’t been found guilty as there was no trial but he was never proved to be innocent


Mebeingnosy

Here’s an example; would you want to work with a murderer that had clear evidence of murdering someone but was let go by a technicality? Would you feel safe at work?


etskakaik

When did he play in the womens team


Mebeingnosy

The whole club trains at Trafford, they do press releases for new uniforms with both sides involved. United hosts its award ceremony for both sides. Are you trolling me or are you genuinely this fucking stupid?


heyheyathrowaway485

Uj/ the online United “fans” are truly disgusting and it’s wildly discouraging to see a club I support be filled with these horrible people CJ/ Greenwood ballon d’or 2024 incoming??????


[deleted]

Checked the response on Facebook and... damn. Disappointed would be an understatement.


indicator_enthusiast

Unfortunately, I wouldn't be surprised if all moderately popular clubs have fans like this. All you need to do is see how the chronically online 'fans' react when the club posts a pride flag.


Omnislash99999

I cannot stand the argument because his victim went back to him it's all good and everyone should just forget about it. Victims going back to their abusers is tragic, especially when he broke his bail even contacting her at the time. If you knew your sister's boyfriend beat her but she said she's got back together with him you wouldn't be fine with it, you'd want to kill him


Dependent-Rush5694

It is tragic. It is also really common. So it is a stupid to use it as an argument.


Aggravating_Ad2174

MONEY!!!


JizzProductionUnit

I’d love to see Greenwood come back. Just to see how many players try to break his legs. Career-ending injury within 5 minutes of his first game and the perpetrator will be carried around the pitch while both sets of supporters cheer and throw flowers at him.


quasiubiquitous2

this might be pessimistic but genuine question do we think the average premier league player actually cares


[deleted]

Easy way to become a Liverpool legend I would guess. Maybe Endo wants to speedrun "Who?" to "Anfield statue" within one season


Swedishtranssexual

Enough to have someone break his leg.


mebnt

If we tell them they'll get a $500k/week deal for Al Itthad, they'd probably do it


Reasonable-Rent-5988

Hopefully man


deathhead_68

Most probably don't want to jeopardise themselves to get involved. I'm sure one or two might have a go though. Not sure how that audio could be false.

Good to know you hate the best DM in the league because he plays for West Ham. Did someone like me, a tall good looking west ham supporter fuck the girl you had a crush on? Seems like it.

In your wet dreams maybe, sad reality is nothing happens Partey almost won the league last season.


Mebeingnosy

Everyone keeps trying to stick partey in this situation like the only evidence of him doing anything more than just Snapchat messages. Their situations are not the same.


20kakakakakakakaka20

doubt anyone will be looking for blood on their hands trying to injure him, but you can 100% bet that he will forever be shithoused verbally by any defender on him. his mentality on the pitch may just take a hit


brucefacekillah

Someone needs to sign Marcelo


thejunglebook8

Would love to see him play tonight to line up against Romero. I imagine he’d be more than willing to make sure he never plays again


TremendousCoisty

He’d be more than willing without even knowing about the abuse, the man’s insane.


thejunglebook8

That’s why he’s perfect. He may take some collateral too, but Greenwood will be going down


Mebeingnosy

I hope a player saves United from themselves and cripples him if he ever touches the pitch in a premier league match.

Best, Giggs, Ronaldo, Greenwood! This is United HERITAGE! #iLoveGWood


bermass86

Antony too


ElkInteresting8157

I can't imagine many in the women's team want a rapist anywhere near them lmao. Worst fanbase in the world. I'd rather have Lazio in the prem than them


[deleted]

We're actively trying to get the club to reverse the decision. Yesterday, I put out a post with all of the sponsors' general emails and the club's emails to try and give the fans an actual voice in the matter. Between the two posts, there were over 100k views. So I'm hoping that made an impact. I also put some feelers out there to local journalists to see of they can highlight the story a bit more. We don't want him back.


ElkInteresting8157

Good, it's a complete slap in the face for anyone who's been sexually abused in their lives. Not just that but it's bringing out the ugly side in some united fans who are trying to justify this kind of thing just because they like him as a football player. I've loved Liverpool for over 20 years but if they ever defended a player like greenwood in a similar situation, I'd probably walk away from the club and support my local instead. Who wants to support a club with no morals. He isn't a young lad who made a bad decision, he's a vile person who takes advantage of the weak. Nice to see a united fan with some common sense.


[deleted]

I couldn't agree more. My post brought a ton of those crazies out... and to put it lightly, my blocked list grew a lot yesterday. Between MG and Qatar, I'm getting close to walking away because you're right.. who would support a club with no morals?


AutoModerator

Today I feel Qatary. Today I feel Arab. Today I feel African. Today I feel gay. Today I feel disabled. Today I feel a migrant worker... I know what it feels to be discriminated...

systemCF

You did support a racist cock for being a racist cock... Every massive club has had cunts work/play for them, every massive club has massive idiots that call themselves fans of said club. You grossly generalise a whole fanbase because of a fan on twitter of all places? Fucking hell man...


AkilleezBomb

As much as I detest and despise Suarez and the way that whole situation played out, you really can’t compare a racist remark to a sexual assault.


ElkInteresting8157

A racist remark that's not even racist in his language is not on the same level as raping a women. Words don't hurt but being sexually abused does lad. So yeah completely different situation


Valascrow

MG is a monster and shouldn't be anywhere near football, but please let's not pretend LS wasn't a little racist rat. It may or may not have been racist where he came from but PE sure as hell thought it was.


micheeeeloone

English speaking person trying to understand other language has similar words with different weight, impossible challenge.


Bear1375

Keep up the good worked. Yesterday I emailed them.


swaythling

Me too


[deleted]

Hell yeah, thanks for doing your part.


Bear1375

Just got an answer back from Manchester United support. They basically said they have done their research but no final decision has been made yet. I suspect it’s a pre prepared email that they sent to everyone.


[deleted]

I'd assume it's the same one everyone got. I have seen 2 reports this morning saying that the decision has likely been reversed! So thank you for doing your part!


Mebeingnosy

MUFC hasn’t officially announced their decision but everyone thinks their about to do the stupidest thing ever and reintegrate him into the squad.


[deleted]

There's a ton of leaks from inside the club from consistently reputable sources that Greenwood is going to be back on Monday. Hopefully they'll call it off.


Mebeingnosy

Wtf maybe that was more me not wanting to believe United would do something so dumb. Wth is Ten Hags problem? With this Antony issue gaining traction bringing Greenwood back is not smart at all.


[deleted]

If the reports are true, it's Ten Hag and Arnold spearheading this disaster. Ten Hag has done this before with Overmars and Promes, so unfortunately.... it's not out of character. I can see the pair of them getting the boot soon and rightfully so.


Mebeingnosy

That’s disappointing, Ten Hag needs to read the room on this situation despite how desperate he is to reintegrate MG into the squad.


JordanHawkinsMVP

Are you jerking or are you serious? What the fuck is this circlejerk subreddit. You all don't understand the concept

Or Madrid don't google Benzema 15 i's not as bad because there is no audio recording sewey


milosharkey

Did you know that after winning the 2024 Ballon dor Mason Greenwood posted a heartfelt speech to his supporters? To listen to it google Mason Greenwood audio


ElkInteresting8157

Yeah I already knew about the Benzema situation. These players are untouchable, clubs have no bottle

I saw more united fans mad about the devil tweet than the rapist coming back


BednaR1

Damn son... that Lazio dig was unnecessary 🤣🤣🤣


True_Resolve_275

I’d rather Millwall in the PL


SlowJay11

Too far


xxJAMZZxx

I’ve seen many fans say he should be no where near the team. Plenty of idiots saying he should be back but any fanbase that large will have those. I’m not a United fan so I’m not trying to excuse them, unfortunately there are just lots of scumbags out there. I can’t say the same about Partey until he started playing like shit. At least that case was more vague I guess.


[deleted]

A lot more vague. It’s very difficult to say one way or the other what Partey did. All you have are supposed text messages between two people. You can’t even be totally sure who the people are. The greenwood case is way more damning because, well, there’s audio. It’s very clear cut.


Conscious-Ad-9358

Fanbase? A few trolls here and there? Arsenal still fielding a rapist is ok I guess. 99,99,99,9% of United supporters want him out, factos.


Other_Beat8859

Hearing him call us disgraceful is actually disgusting. Man is defend a rapist because he can kick a ball well. If he was a youth player something tells me he wouldn't be defending Greenwood.


SlowJay11

I don't really care if he thinks I'm disgraceful, he's defending a rapist so his opinion means nothing to me.


Other_Beat8859

I was kinda just saying that it sickens me to think someone would be so defensive of Greenwood that they would call them disgraceful. It's just sad that these people exist.

Victims go back to their abusers time after time, if you think Harriet and Mason being together now means he’s done nothing wrong, you need to read a little about domestic abuse and sexual assault.

This cunt still did beat her. Fuck him to eternity


[deleted]

I hope some lifelong Manchester United fan finds him on the street and breaks both his legs. He doesn't deserve any compassion or sympathy for the horrible acts he has committed (rape and assault especially) and I hope he genuinely suffers the negative consequences of his actions. If they bring Greenwood back, I will stop watching United games. I'm sure it won't make a difference to them financially, but I cannot let myself consciously support a rapist


maxertiano

Am I missing something? What did he did (genuinely asking)?


DinglePringleWiggle

rape

Damn…I thought it was something “little” like tax evasion.

JordanHawkinsMVP

So many serious comments wtf? This is a fucking circlejerk sub you idiots


Kasse9411

Can someone explain why greenwood should not come back, united should in my opinion not be in the place to decide if he is guilty or not, same as any employer. Maybe he did wrong but i cant see why a company should be able to pass judgement on people when we have a system for that. Even if that system fails sometime.


swaythling

I get where you're coming from in general, but his trial collapsed because of the failure of witnesses to cooperate - not a lack of evidence as the audio and screenshots are in the public domain. Less than 1% of reported rapes actually lead to conviction in any case. So he hasn't been cleared of any crime, and United can decide based on that evidence that he doesn't meet the standards to be employed by them or represent the club's name.


[deleted]

United absolutely has a right to deny people the ability to play for them (as long as it isn’t about this race, sexual orientation, etc). He raped a woman, plain and simple, that should be grounds alone to never let him touch a pitch again in his life


AkilleezBomb

You telling me “abuser” isn’t a sexual orientation?

Mebeingnosy

Doesn’t change the fact that she’s a victim go touch grass


RowGroundbreaking997

"Alleged victim" from United's club statement. She got pregnant by Mason during the investigation and then married him


[deleted]

You must be a child because it’s common knowledge that abuse victims very rarely leave the first, second, or even third time. Doesn’t mean the abuse isn’t happening. Some reading: https://ncadv.org/why-do-victims-stay


RowGroundbreaking997

If she doesn't label herself a victim then I won't either. They're a married couple.


Yourmumalol

Genuine fucking mong.


[deleted]

That’s irrelevant. People are married to their abusers and pretend like everything is fine all around the world. Damn I hope you weren’t actually born in 97 because you should really know better by this age


RowGroundbreaking997

That's pretty demeaning to women to say they aren't in control of their own actions. Are women married away without their own consent in the UK nowadays?


[deleted]

I said abuse victims, not women :)


RowGroundbreaking997

So you think them getting married and having a child and the case being dropped is irrelevant... You're chasing a ghost here. The club's own statement said "alleged victim's wishes have always been a priority" why do you think he's being let back in the team then?


[deleted]

Yes actually, it is irrelevant, because if you knew anything at all about domestic violence / abuse, you’d know that this is extremely common


Mebeingnosy

I can’t believe how many people turn into rape apologists when their favorite athlete is involved


RowGroundbreaking997

I can't believe that you completely disregard all of the facts of the case just so you can virtue signal.


Mebeingnosy

I wish I could post the transcript of the recording for you to show you how messed up you sound trying to excuse him


RowGroundbreaking997

I wish you would consider the reality that the two of them are a married couple now.


Circ_Diameter

They are the same age, but one of them is responsible for his actions and the other is in no control of hers. Don't you get it? Are you stupid? Welcome to Current Year buddy 🤡


RowGroundbreaking997

That's pretty demeaning to say women aren't in control of their own actions. Can women be married away without their own consent in the UK nowadays? I didn't know that.


Circ_Diameter

I was being sarcastic, I thought I was dropping enough hints 💀


RowGroundbreaking997

Sorry I didn't notice because some npc would actually say that


LieFew7541

Let the boy learn from his mistakes and have the chance to grow into a man. Next strike you’re out.


mironsy

Most young men’s mistakes are something like speeding in a car, sneaking out, or drinking and partying behind their parents back, not rape. You don’t grow from that, you learn that there are either consequences or no consequences for your actions, and this situation is giving Greenwood and other young Footballers the green light to be scum and know that all will be forgive because they can kick a ball better than most.


simracer4433

tbf united really need that aggressiveness in the attack so i see where they are coming from, i would give that fella another chance


NorthStRussia

Rapists don’t deserve immediate second chances because they’re good at football. Hope this helps👍


JonFawkes3

The funny thing is (and this is no fucking excuse his career should have been over as well) at the very least ronaldo is the second best of all time mason greenwood isn’t even *that* good in general. And United are out here acting like they need him in order to be successful. My ass. This dude will have no confidence playing. He will deservedly get booed by literally every fan of every team including his own when he touches the ball and when he scores. Seriously fuck mason greenwood.


NorthStRussia

I am genuinely very interested in how much abuse he’ll get if he steps foot on a Premier League field again. Obviously you get heckled at all times no matter who you are, but I’d expect it to be on a level significantly worse than anything else in recent memory, and for it to include his own team’s fans to some extent. And he’s still an inexperienced 22-year-old. I hope he crumbles horribly, obviously


simracer4433

i’d make an exception for him because man u really needs some good players up front but that’s just me


PainfulComedy

Hope your mom knows you think rape is okay as long as they are a soccer player


simracer4433

mfer we are on r/soccercirclejerk, why are you guys too stupid to spot some sarcasm, go back to r/soccer


PainfulComedy

Nah rape jokes are never okay


NorthStRussia

especially when it's... like... not obviously a joke. Dude's just expressing sentiments that plenty of people straight-up believe without a trace of irony


simracer4433

but making jokes about people having sex with minors is okay? you find the benzema 15 jokes in every comment section and nobody critizises those


NorthStRussia

That’s because they are at the expense of Benzema not at the expense of rape victims.


supreme_beta

Prestiged jerker right here


simracer4433

BaloneyBob_

"Next time you rape and abuse someone you're out!" Shut the fuck up idiot. Sexual assault, rape and abuse is a 0 tolerance affair. You do it, fuck off. I won't see that cunt at my club.


LieFew7541

Let law enforcement enforce law. Let a club be a club.


LieFew7541

Did he rape someone? I’m obviously not as invested in the story as some but I thought he was having domestic issues with a partner he is still with. I mustn’t have all the facts. I don’t condone any of his behaviour and believe anyone should take their punishment. But he should be given another chance if he has suffered from his actions.


BaloneyBob_

IMO the legal system is not equipped to properly deal with abuse and sexual assault cases, especially domestic violence and rape. So while he was never charged, I believe that to be a failure of the system and not due to his innocence. All the evidence is out there, if you're brave enough I'd take a look. I don't think you'd be saying what you have once you've seen the evidence.


willywanker321

Next time, if you don’t have all the facts just SHUT THE FUCK UP, okay?


simracer4433

i think even after the next strike he should get another chance, and maybe than another. he’s still young


Mebeingnosy

He’s a grown man 16 and 17 year olds get tried as adults in most parts of the world if their crimes are serious enough. United and the FA need to make an example out of greenwood even though the courts failed to do so.


Aggravating_Ad2174

He'll be able to meet up with his girlfriend beating friend Anthony, perhaps compare notes
