The England star hasn’t played for United since he was arrested in January 2022.
He was charged in October but the charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.
His club are expected to soon make a decision on his future.

Now John Gubba, who runs the Man Utd The Religion YouTube channel, has revealed that Greenwood’s entourage was aggressive toward him as he filmed the training session.
He says he was filming at a “publicly accessible venue with no security” and “away from Manchester United”.
But the filmmaker claims he was approached by a “thug” from Greenwood’s entourage who said: “If you weren’t surrounded by witnesses we would rip that camera out of your hand and destroy your equipment.”
Greenwood, who became a father last month, was joined by his own dad and baby at the public training ground today.

Talks over Greenwood’s future are entering their ‘final phase’
It comes as Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team have suggested they were open to the idea of bringing the footballer back.
But Man United’s women’s team were understood to have reservations, while sponsors were left concerned about being linked to the footballer.
A source said previously: “All the players believe he deserves a second chance because he’s innocent in the eyes of the law.
“He didn’t have the opportunity to clear his name in court because the charges were dropped, so the players feel like he has been left in limbo.
“They know it will be difficult but they are willing to support him through it and protect him.
“Some of the younger players came through the academy with him so there’s a loyalty to him.”
It is not the first time Greenwood has been spotted training outside of Carrington.
In June he worked on his close control and shooting in a 90-minute session on an £85-an-hour pitch.
A final decision on Greenwood’s next career move is imminent
It was the first time he had been pictured at a training session since his arrest.
Since his last photo, he had grown his hair out and stopped wearing Nike boots because the company had canceled their sponsorship agreement.
Greenwood joined United at the age of six, progressing through the ranks until he was often selected for the first team.
When he hit the field at age 17 in 2019, he made history by being the youngest football player to represent United in the Champions League.
For the Red Devils, Greenwood has made 129 total appearances and scored 35 goals.
The Sun has contacted Greenwood for comment.
