Greenwood's future at Manchester United has been uncertain since the winger was suspended by the club in January 2022 having been accused of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Although the charges against him were discontinued in February 2023, Greenwood was loaned to La Liga side Getafe last summer and is expected to move on permanently now the transfer window is open again. Following <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-outcast-mason-greenwood-could-rejoin-man-utd-first-team-squad-powerless-stop-him-explained/blt307e918f9db18ae2" target="_blank">the expiry of his loan</a>, the forward returned to Carrington on Monday but he has not joined United's pre-season training.

WHAT HAPPENED?

According to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5623368/2024/07/08/mason-greenwood-man-utd-exit/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>, Greenwood attended the training centre to continue working on negotiations regarding his departure from Old Trafford. During a meeting with the club's football leadership team, Greenwood had a positive conversation over carrying on his career elsewhere. The 22-year-old then departed again without joining his Man Utd colleagues on the grass.
