Manchester United: Erik ten Hag wants players to focus on football after Mason Greenwood charges dropped

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag has asked his players to focus on football after team-mate Mason Greenwood had all criminal charges against him dropped.

The Crown Prosecution Service said on Thursday that charges against the 21-year-old were discontinued after key witnesses withdrew their involvement.

United is to "conduct its own process" before deciding what to do next, with Greenwood still suspended by the club.

"We have always to focus on the game, no matter what," said Ten Hag.

Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 amid allegations surrounding images and videos.

He was later charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.
