What do you think the club should have done (generally or specifically, I'll leave that up to you, either will do)? What actions are you referring to?



What have they done wrong (that we know about)?

Look, kid (I hope you're a kid) - I'll be honest with you: your post is utter drivel. Do some thinking before posting.

(And don't post if you're drunk or high. That's never a good idea. Unless you're me. But you're not. I think.)
Kick him out immediately? Sack him we don't need money selling him because our reputation is bigger? Better any action then nothing, guess it's easier to close your eyes and let it be as it is.
Ohh yeah, I forgot you can't have any opinion when it's about him, just shrug your shoulder and nod. I like my way of thinking, cheers.

Even if they were, he could still ambiguously apologize for what happened without alluding to any specifics, which is what i suspect may happen if the club decide to bring him back.
I'm surprised this wasn't the route taken. An apology with some talk about the pressures of being so successful and rich so young led to entitlement and this affected and reflected in toxic behaviours and relationships with others. Some talk about professional counselling and help from family and the club - and a lot less people would have been resistant to a return (maybe they did have all this planned before it leaked, I don't know), but yeah he was a teenager or close to for some of the allegations. He reportedly also has developmental/learning difficulties, no? I just figure they would have done this

totally agree. i remember once winning £50 on a scratcher at the local shop and before i knew what i was doing i had my hand up the shirt of the cashier. he was not impressed.
We've all been there, I'm sure.

My gran used to send me a check (yes, this was before...whatever is now) on my birthday. Every year. But one year she didn't, and I thought she had died without letting me know.

But then, it turned out - months later - that she wasn't dead and that she had, in fact, sent me a check (something to do with the post office, or maybe I just didn't search my mailbox properly, I can't quite remember).

Anyway, I suddenly had ten quid to spend. Which filled me with murderous rage, of course. So, I killed my neighbour (his name was...I forget, something foreign, he was from somewhere, possibly Hungary or Allerton).

To sum it up, money is the root of all evil.

(Well, most evil. There is also the evil that stems from drinking Australian lager. But then again, you could claim the two sort of go together, as you rarely drink Australian lager for free.)

Last game of the season stopped because of chants against him.

So much for the "it'll be forgotten about" crowd.

Yeah, but I LOVED my gran's checks, so the point still stands.

Who's this Paul, anyway? Some kind of apostle?

(Oh. Right. Still. Not one of the elite apostles, like Mark - or that other guy.)

Why would we sell him? He was really good that year, year before, from where does it come from selling one of our best player?
The club should be blamed, he was a kid, kiddo, giving him so much money and just leave him to flow with the river, it's sad, disaster of a move from the club, they should take lot of ambaress too, they should follow every step and be behind our kids. It's the duty of the club, and if he doesn't follow the rules then take step 2, step 3 or get a plan, we had nothing, we left the kid deal with that. No matter how much this fanbas on the forum want to "hang him" we should be cautious about it because a lot of you folks perhaps would do exactly the same with so much money,fame and everything that goes with it, so no, I won't blame him so much as everyone here, first the club should be ashamed then the kid, we judge too quickly, imagine what's he going through as a young man. To be clear I don't want to justify any of his actions but I will surely blame the club because of their actions. And one of the crazy things is how quickly lot of you lads jumped on his back and still we got full mouth of Mainoo, Garnacho telling how we like them. Yeah, double face fanbase.
So if we become rich and famous, many of us will batter our partners? Give your head a wobble to see if there’s anything there. Im sick of people saying absolute nonsense like that.

The same poster also criticises Rashford for posting on Instagram and X so he clearly has his priorities in order.

You think they’d stop a game because fans are chanting for a player to stay?
The original poster I replied to claimed that their last match of the season was stopped, the video I posted is from that match which was yesterday and at home :lol:

The chants that required a pause were from the match away at Alaves over a week ago.

So if I get rich and famous I'll start beating and raping my wife?

If the cnut comes back and plays for us I will stop supporting United after 40 years as a fan.

Just saying, if really the club would like to bring Greenwood back there is a way around it in term of PR spin.

Mental health issues are valid arguments and can get a lot of sympathy. Case in point, many court cases use mental health issues as defence to get lower sentence or non-guilty verdict.

No mental health issue is going to mitigate a violent rape unless it turns out he's got severe schizophrenia or something similar, which he obviously does not.

We never know and you can't easily tell whether someone has mental issue or not.

He does not and it is shameful to even suggest using a very real health issue as cover for a violent sexual offender.
Calm down, I think the club already make the stand very clear of not taking him back. They can't announce it in order to get a decent offer from other clubs.

Just saying there "big could" be something else that we may not know or possible that happened behind the scene.

Easy to see why so many fans could swallow the fantasy roleplay scenario (though it had never ever been offered by anyone involved) when they are still creating fantasy scenarios around what diagnoses could help them achieve their, entirely personal, wet dreams of MG coming back to United.

Embarrassing doesn’t cover it, not that there’s any shreds of self awareness.

Happy for him. He has done well all things considered. Hope he will have a bright future.

As many have said, the win win situation is that we get decent fees for him and put in a certain percentage of sell on clause. He will get a 2nd chance at a big club to perform.

For all the hype Sancho gets on loan, Greenwood has more goals and assists in a harder league for a lesser team over a longer period of time, he has done very well. Personality/ past etc aside he has played very well considering his break from football and no pre-season.

at least be man enough to tag me. and it’s not like i said it was definite. all i said was we shouldn’t rule out the possibility of demonic possession. the vatican are hardly going to admit that there are demons, and they have so much power that they can gag greenwood, his demon’s abusee and family, which would explain their lack of statements/apologies.

Yeah the damn world is so judgemental when it comes to domestic violence. It has nothing to do with a Champions League final. It's just so unfair.

Never said anyone was judgemental or anything is unfair? Strange post.

I side Personality/ past aside as I clearly wanted to comment on his football performance only, I'll leave others to discuss the parts they want to discuss.

The sooner Greenwood moves to a new club or we at least declare that he won't be welcome back here, the sooner we can move on and enjoy the Summer.

not me. i’m going to follow him closely, post every twitter video of him beating an ageing full back before putting in a cross that doesn’t result in a goal. i’ll be sure to criticise united and say how antony/amad/garnacho couldn’t do that. i’ll even do it whilst his game’s clash with united ones. so none of the rest of you need to worry about doing that at all. i’ve got it covered. so no need to do it. don’t even think about doing it.

He'll get a 2nd chance at somewhere in Italy/Spain where he'll do ok before doing something else really bad and ending up on loan in Turkey by the time he's 27/28.

He'll retire by the time he's 30 and probably end up a sports correspondent on GB News talking with the likes of Matt Le Tissier and Lawrence Fox about how unfair it is that he's been cancelled.

Why did you say that getting more goals and assists over a longer period of time in a way that suggests this is harder?

Because it is? People have small patches where they have a good goal and assist per min metric but usually over a long period its not sustainable so if you have a better G&A ratio and you've done it over a longer period than someone else, both things are positive.
