Dating & Relationship Status
Mason Greenwood's personal life has been subject to scrutiny, particularly following his arrest in January 2022 on suspicion of assault and rape. This incident led to significant media attention and legal proceedings, which have impacted his career. Details about his current dating or relationship status are not publicly disclosed.
After the criminal charges against Greenwood were dropped in February 2023 due to "the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light", United began their own investigation into the events that caused his initial 2022 arrest. According to reporting by ESPN, United did not have all the evidence gathered by prosecutors, instead requiring the cooperation of the involved parties to provide evidence; the alleged victim never engaged directly with United for the investigation, but the alleged victim's mother did engage with United. Greenwood gave United explanations regarding the publicly released audio and images, which the alleged victim's family did not contest; ultimately the club's investigation decided that Greenwood had not committed the initial offenses and that there were no grounds to terminate his contract, reported ESPN. According to initial reporting by journalist Adam Crafton of The Athletic, as well as subsequent reporting by The Daily Telegraph, Manchester United CEO Richard Arnold told the club's top executives in early August 2023 of intentions to reintegrate Greenwood into playing for United.
On 16 August 2023, Manchester United publicly announced that the club was in its "final stages" of considering Greenwood's future at the club, after having completed an investigation into the allegations that caused his 2022 arrest. United said that their investigation "has drawn on extensive evidence and context not in the public domain", and also stressed that the club has "responsibilities to Mason as an employee, as a young person who has been with the club since the age of seven, and as a new father with a partner."
On 21 August 2023, United announced that Greenwood would be leaving the club, stating that "we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome". According to United, the investigation result was that "the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged", but Greenwood "made mistakes which he is taking responsibility for" and there are "difficulties with him recommencing his career" with United. On the same day, Greenwood made a statement acknowledging that he would leave United; stating: "I was brought up to know that violence or abuse in any relationship is wrong, I did not do the things I was accused of [...] I fully accept I made mistakes in my relationship, and I take my share of responsibility for the situations which led to the social media post." BBC News reported that Greenwood could be sold or loaned to another club, with his United contract being until 2025.
He is of Jamaican descent. His family has a background in sports; his sister, Ashton, is a track athlete. In July 2023, Greenwood indicated that he had become a father by having a child with his girlfriend.
On 30 January 2022, Greenwood was accused of assault by his girlfriend in a series of posts on her social media. The posts included images and video of apparent injuries, as well as audio where a woman tells a man whom she called Mason: "I don't want to have sex", to which the man replies: "I don't give a fuck what you want ... I'm going to fuck you, you twat ... I don't care if you want to have sex with me ... I asked you politely, and you wouldn't do it, so what else do you want me to do?" The man later says: "Push me again one more time and watch what happens to you."
Later on 30 January, Greenwood was suspended by Manchester United, and arrested by Greater Manchester Police on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman. On 1 February, Greenwood was further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill. By then, sports apparel company Nike had said that it suspended its relationship with Greenwood, and video game company EA Sports had said it removed Greenwood from its FIFA games.

Greenwood was not selected for the September 2021 World Cup qualifiers by England manager Gareth Southgate who stated, "He is in our thoughts, I've spoken with him and his club, he is a player we really like. We are all very conscious that he makes the progression at the right time."
In May 2018, former Manchester United player Clayton Blackmore said: "He's great on the ball and very good with both feet. He's the first person I've seen that takes penalties and free-kicks with his wrong foot. I've never come across anyone like that!" In March 2019, former academy coach Mark Senior said: "People says he's like the new Robin van Persie but I don't know. I think he's his own man. I've not seen another player like him. His style means his pace is deceptive because he is absolutely rapid."
