Former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan is backing Manchester United to loan Mason Greenwood to a foreign club.

Jordan feels it would be the right move for both parties.

“Where this young man sits now is he's no longer being charged," said Jordan on talkSPORT.

“I argued this a while ago when we covered it about the presumption of innocence and the presumption of innocence is something we should have in real terms.

“But the court of public opinion will make its own decisions about what they heard and what they know about this young man.

“That puts him in the way of a variety of challenges.

“One of them is Man Utd's perception of its image around the world and the other is what he's going to be subjected to, by the very nature of what we know to be a very blunt, cruel and often appraisal of anything football fans can get at to try and disadvantage a player.

“With all those factors in play, I think it's a sensible move [loan overseas]. It's not kicking the can down the road."

He added: “If [Greenwood] wants to be a professional football player, which I presume he does, going out to a different country and experiencing some of the vitriol and getting himself acclimatised to it will allow him the opportunity to come back and face what he's going to face at some point.

“Football fans are unforgiving."
