It is a fair enough comment, and you won’t find a bigger critic of Mendy than me. But Greenwood was a young home grown player seemingly going astray, not an established international player who had been bought for millions. Clubs should take more responsibility for guiding their kids through the obvious pitfalls of fame and wealth at a young age. Much of what was doing the rounds about Greenwood involved the (friends) he had, which should have had alarm bells ringing at the swamp.

When him and Foden got together on international duty they both got into bother for breaking COVID rules. Only one of those players has kept their noses clean since then.

That statement appears rushed and very last minute. Certainly not the clubs desired outcome of a "6-Month" investigation.

The Athletic reckons that in order to get him to agree to a mutual separation, with 3 years left on his contract, that they had to publicly support him so that he would be able to leave with some semblance of a career in football afterwards. If they just chucked him under the bus, he could just sit on his 80 grand a week wages and continue to be a thorn in their side until his contract ran out.
 
The Times refused to publish the United statement in full following advice from their legal people.

Anyone know why?

That sounds like a line straight from the Rag's PR department in an attempt to detract from the shocking way they've handled the whole situation.
