Mason Greenwood's shocking acts of assault and violence has rocked the football world. A day ago, his girlfriend, Harriet Robson shared disturbing pictures and audio recordings of his abuse and now, her father has released a statement on this issue, which, quite frankly, has not gone down well with netizens. Reacting to his daughter revealing harrowing details of the abuse by the young footballer, Robson's father reportedly was quoted by The Mail, saying, "The first thing we knew about this was at 6 am this morning. It is dreadful. I’m just coming to terms with it all. As a father, you don’t want to know things like that happening to your daughter. The police have been round and she has made a statement to them." Mason Greenwood's Girlfriend Harriet Robson Physical Abuse Controversy: Fans Slam Manchester United Star, Say ‘His Career is Over’

However, it's what he said next that seemed to have angered the netizens. He added, "She has told us her phone has been hacked. We told her to take it down, which she has done but it’s out there now so it is too late. She is devastated because she didn’t want it released. We have known him since the under 21s. He has been part of our family for two or three years. Their relationship has not been good for the last few months. She is completely devastated by it all. They were very much in love and have been together for a while. The police are dealing with it now."

It seems from his statement that Robson's dad is trying to maintain a neutral stand, or even sympathize with Greenwood and not take into account the violence he inflicted on his daughter. And this has irked netizens. Following this statement, angry netizens took to Twitter to hit out at Harriet Robson's dad for his comments.  Mason Greenwood’s Girlfriend Harriet Robson Releases Voice Notes of Manchester United Footballer Threatening Her (View Instagram Stories)
