Greenwood Could Return to Man Utd Following Positive Talks
Adidas Approve Return
Greenwood remains suspended by Manchester United while the club investigate his conduct. He hasn’t played for the club since January 2022 after being arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. The United attacker was later further arrested on charges of sexual assault and making threats to kill. The Sun have now revealed Greenwood’s career at Manchester United could be saved.
The article from Sims details how secret talks have taken place between Adidas and United about Greenwood’s return, with discussions described as “positive.” It is also mentioned that the Old Trafford hierarchy will decide “in weeks” regarding the Englishman’s future following charges including attempted rape being dropped. Adidas seemed to have taken the lead among United sponsors by approving Greenwood’s return. Despite the report, Adidas remained tight-lipped in the article when quizzed about the attacker’s potential return to the Old Trafford first team. “That’s a question for the club. As sponsors, we have no influence over team line-ups.”

The Future of Mason Greenwood
The player is already back in training with the club’s blessing, with the staff at Old Trafford overseeing his return to training. The article also mentions that aside from the approval from Adidas, Erik ten Hag has spoken to the player on more than one occasion, suggesting a return for Greenwood is a real possibility. The new season begins on August 12, with The Sun revealing most teammates will welcome him back if the club approves his return.

A source in the report solidifies how vital the sponsorship approval is for the return of Greenwood. “The initial signals from Adidas are positive. Without their blessing, it would be hard to see a way back. But they have communicated his return would not necessarily be an insurmountable obstacle.”
It appears unclear what the future holds for Greenwood at Old Trafford. However, the positive talks between Adidas and Old Trafford bosses, alongside the player’s talks with Ten Hag, have raised the hopes of a playing return for the 21-year-old attacker.
