A lawyer in the UK has just revealed more information about the case around Mason Greenwood that is shaking up the foggy country.
Earlier this week, US sportswear giant Nike confirmed the termination of his contract with Greenwood, a week after the England striker was arrested on four charges of rape, assault, sexual assault and intimidation. threatened to kill. Currently, the MU star is out on bail pending further investigation by the police.
According to the Daily Mail, Nike can unilaterally terminate the contract with Greenwood without paying the 20-year-old player a dime in compensation due to damage to reputation and commercial value. The only money Greenwood will receive will be unpaid bonuses but the MU star may even have to compensate part of this year's contract income to Nike if the player has received it before.
Greenwood is expected to extend his contract with Nike with attractive incentives next year, and the decision to terminate the contract could cost the England striker millions of dollars. In contrast, MU still has to pay a salary of £ 75,000 / week for Greenwood although the player is still serving an internal disciplinary sentence. A spokesman for the "Red Devils" has stated that the 20-year-old player will not be able to play or train for the Old Trafford team until further notice.
Joseph Lappin, head of recruitment at the UK law firm Stewarts, said: "Greenwood's contract states that he can only be suspended for 14 days if paid in full. So, in theory, Greenwood seems free to return to training in 14 days even while the police investigation is still ongoing.
However, I don't expect that to happen. For Greenwood to return now would be an image nightmare for MU. MU can issue a statement that as long as the police investigation and criminal prosecution remain in force, it has the right to continue to extend the internal disciplinary penalty."
Lappin added: "In recent days, as the investigation is ongoing, the risk of Greenwood being sacked by MU is very large. Greenwood will be compensated by MU for the amount he will receive for the rest of his contract if his dismissal is found to be unlawful.
If MU thinks that the labor relationship has come to an end, it is likely that they will offer to terminate the contract and pay Greenwood a settlement amount between the two parties. Should this happen, Greenwood could seek to join an overseas club, possibly on a prior-agreement basis, pending the outcome of the UK criminal investigation.
If Greenwood is not found guilty, he and MU could seek an early termination of the contract. But if Greenwood is found guilty and sent to prison, MU can tear the contract and stop paying Greenwood."
