Major Mason Greenwood update as Manchester United’s ‘plan’ for striker is revealed – while he makes an extra £350,000

A ‘PLAN’ for Mason Greenwood’s future has reportedly been decided by Manchester United.

The striker, 21, was suspended in January 2022 after a woman made allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

Greenwood was due to stand trial this year, but all the charges against him were dropped in February.

Now the Red Devils are considering loaning Greenwood out as manager Erik ten Hag is against selling the forward, the Manchester Evening News reported.

The Sun can also reveal that Greenwood has just posted bumper profits from his image rights company despite not playing for more than a year.

Greenwood has continued to pick up his £75,000-a-week wages from the club.

And although he was not included in photos for the new home kit launch, he has added hundreds of thousands of pounds to his image rights firm.

Paperwork for TSM Sports Ltd show the England international has £1.05 million in his account – up from £740,000 the previous year. 

Top players earn extra cash from clubs for the sale of merchandise like shirts that bear their “name, nickname, slogan and signatures, image, likeness, voice, logos, get-ups, initials, team or squad number”.

The company was founded in 2019 and both Greenwood and dad Andrew are named as directors.

However the footballer owns more than 75% of the company shares.

Charges of alleged attempted rape and assault against a woman were dropped against Greenwood by the CPS back in February.

In a statement released at the time, the young forward wrote: “I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support.

“There will be no further comment at this time.”

Last week, he was pictured training on a pitch for the first time since his arrest.

Now speculation is mounting that Greenwood – under contract until 2025 – could be on his way out of the club.

He joined the team aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot in the first team.

In 2019 he became the youngest footballer to play for United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged just 17.
