Greenwood is still suspended by United, despite charges including attempted rape being dropped against him.
However, he was recently pictured at a private training with Utd teammate Anthony Elanga.
But now the club’s pre-season has apparently kicked off without him, reports – sparking fears his career is “in tatters”.
According to The Athletic, he is not in their squad for the club’s pre-season tour.
Greenwood has not played since January last year when he was arrested after a woman made allegations against him on social media.
He was due to stand trial in November accused of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
The charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team are open to the idea of bringing the star striker back.
But United’s women’s team is understood to have reservations while sponsors are also concerned about being linked to the footballer.
The player joined the club aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.
In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.
Greenwood has made 129 appearances in total for the Red Devils and netted 35 goals.
In 2020, England manager Gareth Southgate gave the striker his first cap when Greenwood came off the bench in a 1-0 win against Iceland.
