Oh ok, I did not know that they key witness (his girlfriend I assume) withdrew, but in Sweden at least (where I live) - it would not matter if she did. If there were prof of him doing those things media reported that there was some kind of evidence that he did (i believe they reported that there is some kind of video or photos(?)), he would be put in jail no matter what. You dont walk free here just because someone regrets there accusations and dont longer wants to witness, if there is evidence, you will be put behind bars for years for those things he was accused for. And that is why I dont understand why Manchester United is still having him under contract and have not given us an open answer if he will play here again.
Also, Ronaldo paid some girl in the US for not going to trail and probably jail, for the things she said that he had done to her, and there were prof that came out years after that he paid her like 300.000 dollars but she wanted more money some years later but because the made a deal, she did not get a penny more. And If i remember correct, those accusations were as serious as those Mason is accused for but we still took back Ronaldo gave him a biggest love ever in his come back - even when he was playing for Real Madrid in the CL against us, we gave him standing ovations. Why? Just trying to see the bigger picture.
I simply did not know about the Ronaldo accusations before he came back to the club. That's it. That's all there is to it for me. I still haven't read a lot about it, but I am glad he's not still here.
As for Greenwood, I don't feel duty bound to have the same high threshold as the courts need for a prosecution, to decide that I personally don't want him to play for Manchester United again. The recording that is plainly out there for everyone to hear, alongside the complete lack of any reasonable explanation for the contents of that recording, is enough for me. I think it's totally indefensible.
The reason he's still under contract with United is simply that the club can not terminate that contract, just as they can't terminate any other player's contract without mutual agreement. United have an obligation legally to fulfil his contract financially until he's contracted at another club. It's no reflection on whether the club wants him under contract, or whether he did what's alleged.
