The 20-year-old remains suspended by the club as police investigation continues following arrest for alleged rape, assault and threat to kill in January
Manchester United have included Mason Greenwood in their official squad submitted to the Premier League despite the striker being suspended by the club as a result of a police investigation.
The once-capped England player has been included on the club’s list of Under-21 players eligible to feature in the league this season but it does not signal any change in his circumstances.
Greenwood, 20, has been placed on leave with pay since being arrested in late January for alleged rape, assault and a threat to kill.
He remains on bail as Greater Manchester Police continue their investigation.
United have not included Greenwood in their Europa League squad.
Greenwood made his senior debut for United in March 2019 and he has made a total of 129 appearances for the club, scoring 35 goals.
He last played for the club on January 22, in a Premier League game against West Ham.
United’s official website does not allow fans to purchase shirts with Greenwood and No11 on the back but his player profile remains online.
The club have twice denied rumours, originating online, that he was set to return to first-team training. In April, a club spokesperson explained why his profile remains on the club’s website having initially been removed from their mobile app.
“There has been no change whatsoever in Mason’s status,” the spokesperson said. “We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January.”
