Erik ten Hag declined to comment on Mason Greenwood and Manchester United’s inside investigation throughout his Friday press convention.
The Dutchman was addressing the media only a day after Greater Manchester Police confirmed that the tried rape, partaking in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault prices levelled at 21-year-old Greenwood had been dropped.
United launched an announcement stating that they’d conduct their very own investigation into the matter, and sources confirmed to 90min later within the day that Greenwood wouldn’t return to the membership in any capability whereas that process takes place.
Greenwood launched an announcement of his personal too, saying that he was ‘relieved the matter is now over’, however Ten Hag declined to say something when approached about the topic in his newest media briefing.
“No. Nothing. I can’t add nothing, I refer to the statement of the club.” Ten Hag stated when requested about Greenwood.
On whether or not he was a part of the process or had spoken to the participant, he added: “As I stated, on this second, I can not give comment about the process.
“I can not say something about it, I refer to the assertion of the membership and at this second I can not add something.”

Ten Hag was instead keen to focus on playing matters, and stressed his determination for United to put in a better performance when they face Crystal Palace at the weekend.
The Red Devils were held to a 1-1 draw by Patrick Vieira’s side recently, thanks to Michael Olise’s late free-kick, and Ten Hag demanded that his players do better this time.
“We have at all times to concentrate on the sport, it doesn’t matter what,” Ten Hag said. “That is our job, that’s the reason we’re right here. We have so much to do towards them.
“Two weeks ago we had a bad performance there, I wasn’t happy with the performance from us, it was 90% focus and energy and we dropped two points. So we have to avoid that tomorrow.
“Tomorrow we want a greater recreation, higher focus within the recreation, however particularly a greater conduct in the best way of play as a result of we’ve to beat them, as a result of that is fairly clear. We know so much [about] them, they know so much about us, we have been actually sad with our recreation at Crystal Palace so I demand a a lot better efficiency than in London, so we’ve a very good likelihood to win.”
