Screenshots of Mason Greenwood’s eFootball Return Flood Social media platforms
Social media users shared screenshots of Greenwood on United’s roster and mentioned the player’s return to eFootball. It is unclear whether Konami’s decision to include the 21-year-old in their video game was based on information provided by the team or a mistake on their part. Konami has not responded to the controversy.
According to a statement on Konami’s website, the two have a relationship that gives the series producers “substantial access to the club’s stars” as of the commercial partnership’s 2019 launch.

It will be interesting to see if this access led to Greenwood’s inclusion in the series. If there is no reason to believe the player will return to the team, it would be odd for a club official to use the player’s image.
Due to the nature of the information, Last Word on Football is unable to independently authenticate the leak.
The Future of Mason Greenwood at Manchester United Is Uncertain Mason Greenwood is anticipating the findings of his club’s internal investigation into allegations of domestic violence and sexual assault.

In February of this year, the Crown Prosecution Service dismissed all charges, claiming the “withdrawal of key witnesses” and “new material” that needed to be made public. The CPS concluded as a result that “conviction is no longer a realistic prospect.”
Mason Greenwood decision by Manchester United is postponed
Despite earlier rumors to the contrary, the Manchester club will not decide on the player’s future before to their Premier League match against Wolves on Monday, according to Sky Sports.
The club is rumored to be in the consultation phase of its investigation, during which it will seek input from important parties, including the women’s team. This raises the issue of why the women’s side was not consulted before the choice was made.
Fans will be anxiously awaiting the club’s formal announcement about the young player’s future, but it is unknown how long they will have to wait.
