Getting some responses from MPs:

This is disgusting, @ManUtd I will always stand in solidarity with survivors of domestic violence, so consider me “hostile”.

Really disappointed at how United have handled this. They should be focused on making the correct decision, speaking up in support of victims of domestic abuse & sexual assault, and acting with integrity. The club must realise this isn’t a PR crisis it’s about doing what’s right.

Also Women's aid a charity for helping abuse victims:

"Hostile" is an inappropriate way to describe domestic & sexual abuse charities in stakeholder mapping, but especially in this case.

We have worked on our football campaign for over 10 years, & work with both clubs & orgs, on an issue that is prevalent throughout our society.

Go and look on any tweet about the matter and see how many of the replies in support of Greenwood are coming from Africa, the Middle Easy and Aisa. Makes you realise Man U aren't a British football team anymore but an international business interest and they probably don't care about what British fans and pundits think anymore when there's ten million or more people willing to buy a Greenwood shirt in territories that care less about women's rights. We can only hope the opposing fans on the terraces never let him forget what he is.
