Mason Greenwood Considers Legal Action Against Manchester United

Mason Greenwood is contemplating legal action against Manchester United for €9 million in unpaid wages following the precedent set by Benjamin Mendy's successful lawsuit against Manchester City. Mendy was awarded £11 million after a tribunal ruled his wages were unlawfully withheld during his legal troubles, which has emboldened Greenwood's camp to consider a similar route. Greenwood, who faced serious charges that were later dropped, was suspended with full pay, contrasting with Mendy's case where he was suspended without pay. Despite recently securing a transfer to Marseille, Greenwood's representatives express dissatisfaction with United's handling of his situation, believing it has adversely affected his earning potential and sponsorship opportunities, including losing his Nike deal. The club is reportedly prepared for legal action should Greenwood proceed, acknowledging the distinct differences between the two cases. Legal experts suggest that if Greenwood pursues a claim, it would likely focus on lost potential earnings and possibly damage to his mental health.
