Manchester United striker, Mason Greenwood has returned to training on a football pitch, marking his first session since his arrest last year.

The suspended striker was seen at a public sports centre, undergoing training drills with a private coach.

The Sun captured images of Greenwood, who was not donning any Manchester United gear, indicating his training away from the club’s Carrington facilities.

Greenwood’s suspension by the club stems from the charges he faced in October last year, which included attempted r*pe, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

While these charges were later withdrawn in February, the investigation into whether the 21-year-old’s actions brought Manchester United into disrepute and breached his contract remains ongoing, leading to his continued suspension.

Despite being listed on United’s retained roster, Greenwood has reportedly expressed to friends that he believes his time with the club is coming to an end.

Turkish clubs have expressed interest in securing a loan deal for the talented striker, but Manchester United is unwilling to sanction any move until their internal investigation is concluded.

Adding to the intrigue surrounding Greenwood’s future, reports suggest that the young forward is open to a potentially dramatic transfer to Asia.

The details surrounding this possibility remain undisclosed, leaving room for speculation about his potential destination.

Greenwood last appeared for Manchester United on January 22, 2022, during a Premier League clash against West Ham, which ended in a 1-0 victory for the Red Devils. As the investigation into his conduct unfolds, Greenwood’s absence from competitive action continues.

The club’s decision to include Greenwood on their retained list confirms that he remains under contract.

However, Manchester United has emphasized that the ongoing investigation is not influenced by this contractual status, ensuring that the proper procedures are followed to resolve the matter thoroughly.

For now, Mason Greenwood’s return to training provides a glimpse of his commitment to staying fit and focused amid the uncertainty surrounding his future.

As the investigations progress, the football world eagerly awaits updates on the talented striker’s next steps in his professional career.
