According to a study conducted by The Athletic, close to 60% of Manchester United supporters oppose Mason Greenwood’s reintegration into the starting lineup.
Manchester United’s intricate strategy to gradually reintegrate the forward at Old Trafford over the next months had been disclosed earlier in the week, putting the club’s management under increasing amounts of pressure.
Every segment of the United fanbase has responded negatively to this proposition.
Should Mason Greenwood play for Manchester United once more? was put to the people’s vote on The Athletic’s website.
58.1% of responders answered “No”, while 13.1% of fans voted for the “Not sure yet” option. 28.8% of people would like to see Greenwood come back to Old Trafford.
This poll illustrates the variety of criticism the squad has faced this week, which has apparently caused alarm within United’s senior leadership team.
Are you satisfied with the way the club has explained its procedure thus far? received a “No” vote from 77.6% of respondents. This shows that the way United made its decision is even more egregiously bad in the eyes of its fan base than the decision itself.
In response to the query “Would you continue to support Manchester United if Mason Greenwood returned to the first team? “, 18.6% of supporters cast a “No” vote. – Another 20.3% of respondents indicated that they were “Not sure yet.”
It is clear from the fact that nearly 1 in 5 United supporters would vehemently stop supporting their team that this is a deeply emotional subject for the group.
Furthermore, the club’s inept handling of the problem—which United officials had more than six months to prepare for—has only made matters worse.
Senior leaders at Old Trafford are reportedly now reconsidering their initial plan to bring Greenwood back after the club came under unprecedented criticism from its own fanbase as a result of the leaked plot to bring Greenwood back to the fold.
According to a poll conducted by The Athletic, the vast majority of United supporters will find this reappraisal to be extremely favorable.
