Arnold said he’s ‘satisfied that Mason did not commit the acts he was charged with,’ he said that Greenwood would be better off restarting his career and keeping his personal life positive outside the ‘harsh spotlight’ of Manchester United, and that it’s Arnold’s duty to minimize distractions for the current team.

“The club will continue to offer its support both to the alleged victim and Mason to help them rebuild and move forward positively with their lives.”
