Mason Greenwood, the Premier League star, has rejected a team that previously picked a sex offender who was recently released from jail after serving a sentence for a sickening assault.
The team, which has not been named, had offered the 18-year-old Manchester United forward a place in their squad, but Greenwood refused the offer.
The sex offender, who has also not been named, was convicted of a serious sexual assault in 2018 and was sentenced to four years in prison. He was released in 2020 and the team had offered him a place in their squad.
Greenwood, who has been in impressive form for United this season, was made aware of the team’s decision and immediately rejected the offer.
The teenager, who has been capped by England, is said to have been appalled by the team’s decision and was determined to make a stand against it.
Greenwood’s decision has been praised by many, including Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who said: “Mason has shown great character and integrity in making this decision. He has set an example for other young players to follow.”
The team in question has not commented on the situation, but it is believed that they are now looking for another player to fill the vacancy.
Greenwood’s decision has been widely praised by fans and pundits alike, with many hailing him as a role model for young players.
The incident has also highlighted the need for clubs to be more aware of the backgrounds of players they are signing and to ensure that they are not signing anyone with a criminal record.
It is a reminder that clubs must take responsibility for the players they sign and that they must be aware of the potential consequences of signing someone with a criminal record.
Greenwood’s decision is a reminder that young players should not be afraid to stand up for what they believe in and that they should not be afraid to make a stand against injustice.
