Mason Greenwood ready to follow Benjamin Mendy's example: Legal action against Manchester United?
Mason Greenwood was accused of sexual assault in a case that was ultimately dismissed. However, the new Marseille player now finds himself in a position to seek compensation from Manchester United, his training club. Benjamin Mendy won his case against his former club. This would have prompted the English striker to consider turning to justice to claim compensation.
A controversial suspension and repercussions on his career
During the investigation, Manchester United suspended Mason Greenwood and stopped paying him. The cause was a potential damage to the club's image. Greenwood, considered one of the most promising young talents in Europe, would have seen his career come to an abrupt end. Today, the attacker could turn to the courts to claim compensation for loss of income and damage to his mental health.
Lawyers confident following the Mendy affair
According to The Sun, Greenwood lawyers motivated by Mendy's success against Manchester City. In addition to his lost earnings, Greenwood could seek damages for psychological harm, arguing that his prolonged suspension and the weight of the charge had a lasting impact on his mental well-being.
If Greenwood were to succeed, it could set a costly precedent for Manchester United. The club could be required to pay a significant sum to compensate for the months of suspension and the damages claimed.
After his case was dismissed, the player went on loan to Getafe in Spain. This passage attracted recruiters from several clubs. He finally signed for Olympique de Marseille. Dince the start of this season, Greenwood has played 11 Ligue 1 matches. He has scored 8 goals and provided 2 assists.
