Manchester United's squad 'are split over Mason Greenwood returning to the fold' following his charges over attempted rape, coercive control and assault being dropped by the CPS

Manchester United's squad are reported to be split over whether or not Mason Greenwood should return to the fold.

Greenwood, 21, was charged with attempted rape, coercive control and assault in January last year. He was suspended by United and has not appeared or trained with the club since then.

The charges were dropped earlier this month with the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) citing a 'withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light', developments that meant there was 'no longer a realistic prospect of conviction' They added that they had a 'duty' not to proceed with the case in such circumstances.
