It's all very weird now. I'm not backing the guy up, but he's been dropped by Brazil and now can't play for his club team due to, at present from what I can see, unsubstantiated (?) claims by his girlfriend. We're obviously hanging him out to dry on here, but in reality he's not even been charged with an offence yet (unless I've missed something on Facebook/Instagram/Tiktok/X).

I hope he takes the time off to sort out his fucking hair. He needs to take a few of his team mates along with him as well.
It isn't just his girlfriend. 2 other women have made complaints. 2 different countries and therefore 2 different police forces are now investigating. Add to that, it appears that united arranged for a private doctor to treat one of the women whilst she was in a Manchester hotel. That is not to say united did anything wrong, all football clubs employ people to pander to a footballers needs 24/7, but it does tend to back up the accusation that she was injured. How ? only time will tell but following on from Greenwood and even Giggs, it is shit they do not need so they are distancing themselves.
Don't forget, if he is charged and convicted, a decent reporter might just ask if united bought him knowing about the allegations. (The rumours is they did) That's £80 mill down the pan.

Surely he should be free to play until he’s actually charged with anything?
 
even the scum media mafia are turning on them - now that is something
I'm not entirely sure the scum media are actually turning on the glorious and reverential institution that is Manchester united Football Club... I suspect the media are just turning on the Glazers and doing their bit to suck up to the 6 trillion worldwide united fans who want them gone (even though only 18 of them turned up to protest outside the Megastore)
 
It’s been so joyful to watch them imploding on the pitch the last decade - terrible managers, shocking players and spending over a billion pounds to achieve absolutely nothing. However, seeing the whole establishment is imploding is heavenly, even the scum media mafia are turning on them - now that is something I never expected to witness. A crumbling stadium running parallel with a crumbling brand, I would certainly be very cautious if I held any shares.
That’s called karma for the banner.
The media pile on is all part of the plan to get rid of the glazers if you ask me

That isn't the point I was answering.
Malg stated it was one unsubstantiated claim from one woman. I pointed out it isn't. It's 3. Further, you may think he should be allowed to play, united are the ones making the decision. They have to think about reputational damage. Greenwood has only just left the country and under an enormous cloud. They now have 3 woman, 2 alleging assault, one alleging assault and attempt rape. Further, there is an allegation they helped cover up one of the assaults.
If they play him the bad press will continue, if they don't they gain some breathing space.
It doesn't matter what you or me think, it's what sponsors and the money men think.
