What a story, what a journey! @HitmanHatton your documentary had me laughing and crying in equal measure.

Such a touching moment on behind the scenes with the girl at the meet and greet! @StevenBartlett

@Sassm657097 @StretfordPaddck @TheAthleticFC Totally agree

@StretfordPaddck @TheAthleticFC Every single on of those staff should be proud of themselves today. Thank god for the Athletic too for reporting the leaks. All the fans who emailed United. Thank god Common sense eventually prevailed.

🚨Some #MUFC employees felt appalled by the club’s initial plans around Mason Greenwood, and executives held multiple intense meetings with staff. Some discussed resigning in the event United brought Greenwood back. Others started to research how to go on strike. @TheAthleticFC

@StretfordPaddck The correct decision. That last part of the statement makes me believe Man Utd will still be paying him or supporting financially.

Full Richard Arnold statement: “Dear fans, now that we have concluded and announced the outcome of the club's investigation into Mason Greenwood, I want to be direct and transparent with our fans about the process and the reasons for our decision.This was an internal disciplinary investigation between employer and employee which would ordinarily take place outside of the public eye. Given the public nature of the allegations and Mason's profile, I acknowledge that this was not an ordinary situation, but I felt it important that we still follow due process and, so far as possible, avoid media comment until I had made a definitive decision.When audio footage and imagery was posted online in January 2022, my feelings were of shock and concern for the alleged victim. Her welfare, wishes and perspective have been central to the club's approach ever since, as have the club’s standards and values. While we immediately concluded that Mason should be suspended pending investigation, we were also conscious of our duty of care towards him and the importance of making a decision based on full information. Until February this year, this was a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service. It was only when charges were dropped that the club discussed the allegations with Mason and others involved in the case.Our investigation sought to collate as much evidence as possible to establish facts and context. This was not a quick or straightforward process for a variety of reasons. It was essential for us to respect the rights and wishes of the alleged victim. Also, we have limited powers of investigation which meant we were reliant on third party cooperation. Timings have also been influenced by my desire to minimise the impact of the investigation on our men's and women's teams, as well as our Lionesses. I acknowledge that this gave more time for speculation, but the alternative would have been to compromise due process or create untimely disruption. While we were unable to access certain evidence for reasons we respect, the evidence we did collate led us to conclude that Mason did not commit the acts he was charged with. I am restricted as to what I can say for legal reasons, including the alleged victim's ongoing right to anonymity, but I am able to share the following with you which should give you some insight into the complexity of this case. • The alleged victim requested the police to drop their investigation in April 2022. • We were provided with alternative explanations for the audio recording, which was a short excerpt from a much longer recording, and for the images posted online. • The alleged victim's family participated in the process and were given the opportunity to review and correct our factual findings.Last week the media reported that we had decided to reintegrate Mason and that elements of a plan to do so had been leaked to them. Reintegration was one of the outcomes we considered and planned for. For context, over the course of the past six months several outcomes have been contemplated and planned for, and my view has evolved as our process progressed. While the ultimate decision rested with me, I was taking various factors and views into account right up until the point of finalising my decision.While I am satisfied that Mason did not commit the acts he was charged with, Mason’s accepted that he has made mistakes which he takes responsibility for. I am also mindful of the challenge that Mason would face rebuilding his career and raising a baby together with his partner in the harsh spotlight of Manchester United. Further, this case has provoked strong opinions, and it is my responsibility to minimise any distraction to the unity we are seeking within the club.Although we have decided that Mason will seek to rebuild his career away from Manchester United, that does not signal the end of this matter. The club will continue to offer its support both to the alleged victim and Mason”

The correct decision @ManUtd

@JennieGow @BBCSport @imharrybenjamin @rosannatennant @alicepowell @5liveSport @IMGStudios @f1dutchgp This is amazing news! I’m glad you are back 😊

A little #F1 news from me…

@JOE_co_uk But we call the men’s team lads or boys all the time? What’s the problem. I fear for the state of our society at times. There are bigger and more important things to be worried about.

@RestIsPolitics @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret What do you think of the significance of Henry Kissinger’s visit to China a few weeks ago? Why did he go? What is the impact of his visit?

@NoContextHumans Anything. Everything by The Smiths

What song is this?

@JohnnyMercerUK I agree.

I may be a ‘silly sod’ or a ‘twit’ - both of those are valid. But I also don’t think voters really want people who’ve spent more time at university than in a job, who get dropped in to a constituency, inserted with a party chip and parrot party lines. Glad to have stoked debate.

@SamCoatesSky @SkyNews I actually agree with @JohnnyMercerUK here

When Johnny Mercer compared the new Labour MP for Selby to an Inbetweener “We don’t want parliament to become like the Inbetweeners” he told @skynews Then this:

Brave and inspirational @dele_official. Discussing mental health is not a sign of weakness. Let’s keep the conversation going. We’re all with you and we wish you the very best. W

Looking forward to seeing the Sun editor on BBC1 on Sunday morning, secure in the knowledge that @bbclaurak won’t be asking any uncomfortable questions about what the paper’s been up to. Again.

I agree @RishiSunak so how about letting your nation demonstrate their Freedom. Democracy. Leadership, by calling a general election! #ToriesBrokeBritain #ToriesOut #GeneralElectionNow

@sammywrainbow @SkyNews To what end? Suspension leading to by-elections? The Tories need to go. Now!

@AjBsuperstarR @SkyNews They'll be sanctioned
