Manchester United have launched an internal investigation which will decide the future of Mason Greenwood - after charges of attempted rape and assault against the England striker were dramatically dropped.
The 21-year-old was arrested in January 2022 and suspended on full pay by the club a short time later after videos and images were posted online.
However, in a bombshell statement released yesterday, the Crown Prosecution Service announced the subsequent charges had been discarded after 'key witnesses' withdrew their involvement.
It leaves Old Trafford officials with a major headache ahead of a run-in to the end of a season on which they are fighting for honours four fronts.
