Rachel Riley speaks out against Mason Greenwood as TV star warns she will stop supporting Man Utd if he stays

TV presenter Rachel Riley says she will stop supporting Manchester United if the club allows Mason Greenwood to return.

The Red Devils said on Wednesday no decision had been made about the future of the 21-year-old, who has been suspended by the club since January 2022.

The forward was charged with attempted rape, assault, and coercive control nine months later but those charges were dropped in February 2023 due to a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light. After a female United fan took to Twitter to say she would walk away from my club if Greenwood returned, Countdown presenter Riley echoed the message.

She told her 684,000 Twitter followers: I’m with Em, I won’t be able to support United if Greenwood remains at the club. We’ve all seen and heard enough. Pretending this is OK would be a huge part of the problem. It would be devastating for my club to contribute to a culture that brushes this under the carpet … I really hope they do the right thing.
