The 21-year-old hasn't played for the Red Devils in over 18 months

Mason Greenwood is currently in the spotlight, with Manchester United yet to make a final decision on the 21-year-old.

However, the England international has recently been spotted training as he seeks a return to action at Old Trafford.


Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 for attempted rape and assault.

Charges were dropped in February 2023, however, meaning the footballer can now resume his career in the sport.

Greenwood has been spotted in public more frequently that any stage previously, having also recently become a father for the first time.

And The Sun say Greenwood has been training with coach Ben Mangan, who describes himself as an 'individual professional football coach'.

Mangan has previously done work with Antony Elanga, who recently left United in order to join Nottingham Forest.

And he's also helped the development of Red Devils youngster Kobbie Mainoo, who is a player being tipped for a bright future.

Mangan offers individual training sessions that last 75 minutes, while he's also willing to oversee group training as well.

He charges between £105 and £150 per session.

Greenwood is being monitored by United staff, with the club receiving data on his training sessions.

The player's father Andrew, as well as his newborn daughter, were both in attendance as the striker trained earlier this week.

United confirmed in February that they would be conducting an internal investigation before making a final decision on Greenwood's future.

No decision has been announced yet, however, though United are expected to provide clarity before their Premier League opener with Wolves on Monday night.

Greenwood is hoping to resume his career at United.

And if he does return, then he'll be hoping to impress Erik ten Hag and earn a spot in the side.

United currently have two out-and-out centre-forwards on their books as they hunt a first Premier League title since 2013.

Anthony Martial remains at Old Trafford, with the France international not attracting serious interest from clubs this summer.

And the Red Devils recently confirmed the signing of Rasmus Hojlund from Serie A side Atalanta.

United may bring Greenwood back into the fold.

However, there are other possible scenarios amid the forward's uncertain future.

United could choose to release, or sell, Greenwood.

And it's also possible they'll loan the 21-year-old out, perhaps to an overseas team so he can play away from the pressure of the Premier League.
