Despite the fact that the allegations of attempted rape, coercive behavior, and assault were dismissed in February, the striker is still the focus of the club's internal investigation.


Authorities are reportedly exploring a plan that would send the 21-year-old abroad for up to a year, according to Mail Sport. Turkey, Italy, and Spain are seen to be the three most likely options.


United are said to have expanded their inquiry of Greenwood after their season ended on Saturday. Greenwood has two years left on his £75,000 per week deal.


If it is determined that the player brought the club into disrepute, they may decide to release him or they may decide to transfer him abroad once the review is complete so they have more time to consider their options.


They would be able to measure the public's response as well as Greenwood's performance and mental state if they considered this possibility. In addition, they could send him to Europe, where he could play while the investigation is ongoing.

United has conducted interviews with Greenwood as part of its inquiry. Following the January 2018 leak of recordings on social media, police started their investigation. A video was also shared, appearing to depict a woman with numerous wounds and a bloodied face.


The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the allegations in February, claiming "new material" and the absence of crucial witnesses as reasons why a conviction was "no longer a realistic prospect."


When asked if he needed another striker to relieve Marcus Rashford of the burden, manager Erik ten Hag responded that Greenwood, who has 36 goals in 130 games for United, had "shown in the past he is capable of doing that."
