Mason Greenwood has apologised for his ‘poor judgement’ after footage emerged of the Manchester United and England player appeared to inhale nitrous oxide.
The 18-year-old appeared to breathe in laughing gas, also known as ‘hippy crack’, from a balloon in a video reportedly filmed a number of weeks ago.
The ‘historical pictures’ of Greenwood inhaling nitrous oxide were published in The Sun
In a statement from Manchester United, Greenwood said: “I have now been made aware of the health risks associated with this practice and accept that even trying it, as shown in these historical pictures, was poor judgement on may part. I strongly urge others not to follow my example.
“As an 18-year-old I am learning all the time, however, this week I have also learned that I will be judged to a higher standard because of my career as a footballer and I must respect that in future.
“I am determined to repay the faith shown in me by my manager and coaches.”
The pictures emerged just a week after Greenwood and Phil Foden were sent home from England duty after breaching COVID-19 protocols by inviting girls to their hotel in Iceland.
