After Greenwood was cleared of all his charges, speculations about whether he would return to Old Trafford or not arose. It was being reported for some time that he was training hard and might be making a return to the United first team. However, both the player and the club simultaneously announced that they would be severing their ties and moving on. Many have said that fan pressure and negative reactions to his possible return were the bulk of the reason of both of them parting ways.

As of now, it is not clear whether her would be sold or sent out on loan, or will his €70000 a week contract will be terminated. However, if United are to offload him, they will have to act fast because if they fail to do so before the closing of the transfer window on 1st September, they would have to pay him millions to leave.
