Greenwood, facing charges of assault, attempted rape, and coercive control in the months following his 2022 arrest, was believed to have concluded his tenure with United when he was loaned to Getafe toward the end of last summer’s transfer window.
Following an internal investigation prompted by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) dropping the case due to key witnesses withdrawing and new evidence emerging, United seemed inclined to reintegrate Greenwood until facing significant public backlash.
Ratcliffe has not signaled a definite return for Greenwood, who is under contract until 2025 with an option until 2026. However, his comments affirm that the situation will undergo a fresh review, leading to a final decision.
“We will make a decision and we will justify it,”
Ratcliffe told assembled journalists in his first external media duties since his buy-in was made official.
“He’s a Manchester United footballer so we are in charge of football. So the answer is yes, we have to make decisions. It’s quite clear we have to make a decision. There is no decision that’s been made.
“The process will be: understand the facts not the hype and then try and come to a fair decision on the basis of values which is basically is he a good guy or not, and answer could he play sincerely for Manchester United well and would we be comfortable with it and would the fans be comfortable with it.”
