Manchester United staff are unhappy over the club’s handling of Antony and Mason Greenwood saga.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, a number of Manchester United staff are actively seeking new employment after growing disillusioned with the club’s handling of the Mason Greenwood and Antony abuse cases.
The report claims that many staff members are “disappointed” with the club’s attitude towards both cases, and that morale at the club is very low.
Mason Greenwood was arrested and charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm in October 2022. He remains suspended by the club pending the outcome of the legal proceedings.
Antony was also involved in a domestic abuse case in 2020, when he was accused of assaulting his then-girlfriend. He was cleared of any wrongdoing by the Brazilian authorities, but the allegations have resurfaced in recent months.
The report claims that many staff members believe that the club has not done enough to support the victims of abuse, and that the club’s handling of both cases has been “insensitive” and “disrespectful”.
Manchester United have declined to comment on the report.
It is important to note that these are just allegations, and no one has been found guilty of any wrongdoing at this time. However, the report does raise some serious concerns about the club’s culture and its handling of sensitive issues.
It is also important to note that the vast majority of Manchester United staff are dedicated professionals who are committed to the club. However, it is understandable that some staff members may be feeling disillusioned after the events of recent months.
It is hoped that Manchester United will learn from the mistakes of the past and take steps to address the concerns raised in this report. The club has a responsibility to protect its staff and its supporters, and it needs to create a culture where everyone feels safe and respected.
