For 12 months United remained silent as one of their star players, a homegrown talent, was charged with serious offences and headed towards trial before prosectuors said they dropped the case following "the withdrawal of key witnesses."
That was denied by the club in vague terms following an extensive and compelling investigation by The Athletic which stated it received evidence that senior staff at the club were informed by email of plans to reintegrate the 21-year-old. Not so much Nike, who terminated their endorsement deal a couple of days after his arrest, while EA Sports removed Greenwood from their FIFA games. If those commercial decisions were swift, the legal process and United’s subsequent investigation were snail-paced.
A provisional trial date was set but then in February of this year prosecutors said that the charges were being dropped because "a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction."
