Mason Greenwood has been labelled as one of Manchester United's most 'disliked people' in the new Football Manager 2024 game.<\/p>\n
Greenwood left United over the summer after an internal investigation concluded he wouldn't play for the team again. The Englishman had been arrested for attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, but charges against him were dropped earlier this year.<\/p>\n
Greenwood was also included in EA Sports' EA FC 24 title, but only in offline modes. He was absent from online modes like Ultimate Team – the games most popular mode.<\/p>\n

In the latest edition of the popular game Football Manager, Greenwood is listed as one of the most 'disliked players' at Manchester UFC, via The Mirror. The change in name is due to a legal dispute between the Red Devils and the game's creators, Sports Interactive, who are trying to make the game as realistic as possible. <\/p>\n
Like EA Sports, Sports Interactive has also featured Greenwood in FM24, as he's currently part of Getafe's real-life team. However, as he is only loan at the Spanish side, he is set to return to Manchester in the summer.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Football Manager, each club, player, and non-player has a list of 'disliked' individuals. For clubs, this means they avoid any association with those on the list.<\/p>\n
For instance, other players on United's 'disliked people' list include Steven Gerrard, John Terry, Luis Suarez, Ed Woodward, Rafael Benitez and a few others. This means that during the FM24 simulation, United will avoid signing these individuals in an attempt to add realism to the game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sports Interactive has made Greenwood the joint-most 'disliked' person at the Red Devils in FM24, meaning that when the forward returns from Getafe, the AI-controlled United will look to move the player on as quickly as possible. <\/p>\n
This seems to be the only possible workaround to reflect the situation in real life and is the title's way of ending the forward's career in the Premier League, in Football Manager's simulated world. <\/p>\n
Sports Interactive has also changed Greenwood's Career Plans in FM24, adding a line stating that the 22-year-old does not want to be a player at any Premier League club. This will ensure that when he leaves United, he won't move to another top-flight English side, such as Liverpool or Manchester City.<\/p>\n
