    You kind of saw this coming. Given how Partey is still playing and has been crucial for our success (at times) I’m guessing ManU figured if we haven’t been crucified for doing nothing then they won’t either.

    Sad.

    I hope opponents’ supporters come up with some (not so) creative chants. Didn’t happen with Partey (or did it?), but I wonder if it wouldn’t be super effective if the crowd just continuously yells “rapist” every time Greenwood has the ball.

    I don’t see it happening, but feel like that would receive a lot of media attention and put pressure on ManU.

    I’ve seen some tweets about this this morning and I find it interesting that nearly all the pro-Greenwood replies are coming from African and Asian users. I guess it’s the issue with globalising football that Man U no longer have to play to the British crowds morality but people from places with far worse records on women’s rights.

    Hopefully someone puts a two footed takle in early in the season and puts him out the game that way.
