MASON Greenwood’s career at Manchester United could be saved after the club’s main sponsor approved his return.

Secret talks with Adidas are ongoing and have been described as “positive”.

Mason Greenwood’s career at Manchester United could be saved after the club’s main sponsor approved his return

Greenwood and partner Harriet Robson were seen in Greater Manchester this week, while his team-mates were taking part in a US tour

The star was seen training with his father last month

Old Trafford bosses are set to decide “in weeks” on the future of the England striker after charges including attempted rape were dropped.

With approval from Manchester United, the player has already resumed training.

The England star is being monitored by Old Trafford officials, and he has had multiple conversations with manager Erik ten Hag.

The conversations have sparked hopes that he may play again after accusations against him, including an attempted rape, were dismissed.

Adidas’ assurance will probably lead to other sponsors doing the same.

The new season starts on August 12 and The Sun understands most team-mates would welcome him back if the club agrees.

A source said: “The initial signals from Adidas are positive. Without their blessing it would be hard to see a way back. But they have communicated his return would not necessarily be an insurmountable obstacle.

“They have certainly given the impression they would not be fiercely opposed to it.”

United and Adidas signed a ten-year deal, said to be worth £750million, in 2015.

Greenwood, 21, and her companion Harriet Robson just had a girl.

In Hale, Greater Manchester, they were noticed this past week.

Since January 2022, he has been suspended with full pay, or approximately £75,000 per week, after losing a significant contract with Nike.

His arrest for attempted rape, assault, and possessiveness preceded it.

Greenwood was charged in October. The claims were dropped in February.

The source added: “No decision has been made yet but every option is being explored. It’s an unpredictable situation and public opinion will play a part.

“It won’t be easy if he does return but sponsors won’t necessarily walk out of the door overnight.

“He trains alone but the club is keeping in touch. He wants to stay.”

The founder of the United Women’s Supporters’ Club, Natalie Burrell, concurred with the report from February that the United women’s squad does not want him to come back.

Regarding Greenwood’s potential comeback, Adidas stated last night: “That’s a question for the club. The lineups of the teams are outside of our control as sponsors.

The club chose not to respond.
