I support the decision but, having read Crafton's new piece, the process looks like a complete clusterfeck, and the impression is of a club with no backbone that only made the right decision out of fear and panic.
Mason Greenwood | Officially a Marseille player

Good riddance.
So you can't come up with any possible reason? I didn't ask about the case, nor the charges.
Let's try something else then, and please don't think I'm attacking you btw I just want people to think about it:
In relation to the social media posts what do you think could have happened that, in Mason's own words, could he have done in his relationship that led to her posting those pictures and that audio?
Agree. Bloke needs to go for another round with the locals to fix this.
I think the mistake was getting himself into this situation in the first place.
How it feels to lose £100m of talent.
The team could badly use him, left footed attackers are an incredibly scarce breed at the moment, but this is the right decision for now.
To be honest they should've sent him on loan to Turkey or something, and then tried to sell him, we could've gotten some value that way. Not sure just giving him up is the best financial play, but then United has been a shit show when it comes to finances.

No he wasn't. He was charged with an extremely serious offence. The proceedings were sub rosa. He couldn't talk about them without being done for contempt. It would have been unwise to do so anyway and prejudice his defence. Nor was he able to examine witnesses in court. How exactly has he been able to defend himself against the allegations in the public sphere the last few years?
They both say he is innocent of the charges brought against him.
I didn't say he didn't do ANYTHING wrong, but what he did wrong they both say does not include, assault, rape, attempted rape, or violence towards his partner.
Jesus that show got dark in the later years it seems.
As I said, misspoken: not proven guilty.
But hey.. Innocent until proven guilty does not work here I see.
This is an Ed Woodward era decision.
Farewell you fecking prick.
With the information they were provided with.
What does this mean exactly?
In the case of Saudi definitely
I just think he's too toxic for a UK club now, it wouldn't be worth the hassle.
The media frenzy it would generate will put off clubs from signing him.
Negotiated agreement?
Club statement is purposefully so vague it's basically meaningless.
Cognative decline post retirement.
This is what happens when you are leaderless behind the scenes, absolutely pathetic. Media pressure dictates what a multibillion pound company does.
Breaching bail conditions too.
Some of the comments in here man, I'm speechless.
That we made a fecking mess of the whole thing
Hopefully Saudi offer us £100m
It reads exactly like a statement written by our lawyers in conjunction with his lawyers. Pretty much what I'd expect to see when a club negotiates the termination of a contract.
Personally not convinced.
Shit storms blow over! It’d have been forgotten about in 6 months when he’s banging in the goals! Arnold wilted to the likes of Rachel O’Reilly and other members of Twitter! Pathetic really
True
I don’t understand what Arnold means by this sentence in his statement?
“Although we have decided that Mason will seek to rebuild his career away from Manchester United, that does not signal the end of this matter.”
Leaving the door open for a return? Or does it mean we still need to agree a transfer as we want a fee for him?

No one ever said the accusations were false.
He ruined his own life by attempting to rape her and hit her. We all heard and saw the evidence.
Just because she made a u turn, doesn't mean it didn't happen.
I wonder if people will be happy that both the victim that they were rooting for and the kid who was born after this will be punished also.
The issue with the whole "we only have a little sample, we don't have the full context of the tape" defense is that nobody has offered a plausible explanation of what else is on the tape and backed that explanation with a single shred of evidence.
Perfect representation of our society these days. You make a point I don’t agree with, banned. How about not having the spine of a jellyfish and learning how to argue with someone and coming to the outcome of agree to disagree. What a concept!
This is just a fan forum but some of the comments here are bit extreme.
In the end, United are a public-facing business that has to be attuned to the expectations of their customers and stakeholders. This is the right decision, even though I have no doubt whatsoever (without a shred of evidence to back it up, mind you) that the man regrets his actions and has profusely apologized privately to those who were directly impacted by his actions.

This means a lot to me, and the club I'm sure. Almost worth the financial hole.
I actually think he would've handled it better. He was just a football idiot
To be entirely clear, the only thing I’m responding to here is wumminator saying the club didn’t say what they said.
That is what a lot are not grasping. It is like a girl not going through with rape charges because of what they go through in court.
Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
I bet you love Joe Biden and his leadership.
What are you talking about
