Mason Greenwood reportedly berated Manchester United’s academy stars as he called them ‘s***’ to their faces while labelling Cristiano Ronaldo as ‘dead’.
It led Red Devils staff to correct Greenwood over his language, with the forward not afraid to brutally criticise his teammates.
Ronaldo was once referred to as ‘dead’ by Greenwood while he was at Real Madrid
United staff had to intervene to speak to Greenwood about his brutal criticism
Greenwood has been suspended by United since news of his arrest in January last year was confirmed.
In February, the one-cap England international had his charges of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour against him dropped.
United have since stated they will launch their own internal investigation to determine his future, with it unclear how long it will last, and whether Greenwood will ever play for the club again.
And according to The Athletic, Greenwood is no stranger to causing issues behind the scenes at Old Trafford, where he failed to hold back in his views of the club’s academy players, as well as Ronaldo.
While Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, it has been claimed that Greenwood referred to the Portugal international as ‘dead’, implying his career was finished.
Meanwhile he regularly spoke down to his youth teammates, as a source said: “He knew he was a good player and was cutting, he wasn’t shy about telling someone they were s***.

“When you hear that you’d think, ‘Can’t be talking like that’.”
The news outlet has stated that United staff were forced to intervene and ‘correct’ him, though they thought his comments were a result of ‘youthful delusion’.
His blunt speaking is said to have spread into his school life, with a number of staff members at Ashton on Mersey not remembering him with any affection.
Greenwood also reportedly threatened to join United’s bitter rivals Manchester City during tense moments in training, but he ultimately rejected their approach.
It remains to be seen what future Greenwood has at the Theatre of Dreams
The youngster is reportedly desperate to continue his Red Devils career, with a source remarking: “He would run through a brick wall to be back playing for United now.”
But it remains to be seen whether Greenwood, who is an expectant father with his partner, will ever don the famous jersey again.
Greenwood has been the subject of offers from clubs in Turkey, but United have rejected their proposals amid their investigation.
