How has the Mason Greenwood situation developed since Manchester United's statement on Wednesday? And what could happen next?
Yes, it absolutely did. We put some impeccably sourced points to them for comment, as we do with every article, and it was up to the club to respond.
People are entitled to change their minds. But for whatever reason, that decision had been planned to be communicated and then was then delayed.I think a lot of Man United supporters would have just seen that statement come out and also Man United staff would have seen that statement drop into their inboxes midway through a Wednesday afternoon.
I think sometimes as journalists, we presume that everyone knows how all these things work, right? How something just appears on a website and I think sometimes, within reason, it’s good to explain that process.We approached the club with the facts as we understood them to be true. We gave the club ample time to respond. We also allowed them an extension to their deadline because they said they were formulating the response for us.
As this process has gone along, Manchester United have used slightly different wording at slightly different times around what will happen with regards to key stakeholders. At different times it’s been described as consultation or engagement or kind of pre-briefing. We’ve had to be careful around how all of that is framed. But what has happened, regardless of what the truth of that intention really is, because there has been this perception that the women’s team will in some way be involved, it has led to social media hounding of some of these women over the past week or so.
It feels like the bigger picture hasn’t been seen here and that’s why it’s been delayed, and it just leaves a sour taste in the mouth.The timing is also fascinating because I think one of the things Manchester United have come to realise is there’s actually never a right time to bring him back, right?
