I don’t really talk about this much but for me the situation is clear.
Mason at the very least made a big mistake and I don’t think any of us will ever know the real truth or nuances. The cost of that mistake is that he can never play for Manchester United again. Considering what was at stake, the fact that he can still have a career at the top level is enough of a second chance for me.
For everyone’s health I think it’s time to stop the hate, the bickering and the what ifs and just accept the situation for what it is. There are far more important things in life than the fate of a footballer that ultimately created this situation for himself.
As for the club, the best we can hope for is a quality swap deal plus some cash to donate to charity. If we receive a fee, there will be a lot of external pressure which will just increase exposure on it all again.
Personally I’m just ready to move away from it now. I respect everyone else’s opinion.
