Man Utd boss Ten Hag ‘frustrated’ over Greenwood as new details emerge

Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag is reportedly ‘frustrated’ at the length of time the club’s investigation into Mason Greenwood has taken. The England international had charges dropped against him back in February. He’s now hoping to revive his career, with the 21-year-old last playing for the club in a 1-0 victory over West Ham in January 2022. According to The Mirror , Ten Hag has been involved in talks over the future of Greenwood along with John Murtough, the Glazers and Richard Arnold. And it’s claimed the 53-year-old is ‘frustrated’ by the length of time the investigation into the England international has taken. Greenwood had charges dropped against him in February, with the striker then reacting to that development by saying: “I am relieved that this matter is now over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support. ‘There will be no further comment at this time.” While Ten Hag is frustrated, however, he is said to ‘respect the sensitive nature of the case and the need for due process to take its course’.
