The club also explained why Greenwood’s profile has not been removed from the club’s website.
Greenwood’s profile still being present on the site sparked rumours among fans that the player was soon to return to training.
“There has been no change whatsoever in Mason’s status,” the club said.
“We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January.
“This was in order to remove Mason from interactive elements of the app, such as team predictions etc.
“However, his profile was never removed from the website as he remains a Manchester United player, albeit not currently part of the squad while the legal process unfolds.”

Cadbury made it clear that Greenwood would be removed from their marketing materials.

“However, while these allegations are being investigated, any marketing or products we create with Manchester United will not feature this player. We will continue to monitor the situation closely.”
