Mason Greenwood’s return to Man Utd squad

Mason Greenwood could still play for Manchester United, after it emerged that the club’s most prominent sponsor, Adidas, is considering approving plans for him to return to the squad.

Greenwood has not featured for the Red Devils since January 2022, after being charged with rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault.

The charges were dropped in February, but the 21-year-old remains under suspension by United, who are conducting an internal investigation.

Greenwood was recently pictured in private training sessions with manager Erik ten Hag who is thought to have spoken to the player on several occasions.

According to The Sun, United has discussed the possibility of Greenwood’s return with shirt sponsor Adidas, with those conversations described as “positive”.

It is believed that assurances from the German sportswear giant could see other sponsors follow suit.
