Manchester United are not waiting for the property situation to be resolved to decide on Mason Greenwood's future, Telegraph Sport has learned.

Photos released by The Sun on Friday show Greenwood at a private workout at a public sports center.

It was the first time the England striker had been seen on the pitch since his arrest last year after a woman alleged physical and sexual abuse.

Greenwood, 21, was due to face trial this year , but all charges were dropped in February.

United are understood to support Greenwood's training to maintain their physical and mental health.

But the decision on Greenwood's future is unrelated to the long-running takeover saga and will be made regardless of the outcome of a «strategic review» announced back in November, when the Glazers first announced their readiness to sell the club, sources said. /p>

Qatari banker Sheikh Jassim bin Hamad Al Thani and British billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe are still waiting to see if their competing bids to buy United were successful.

United Airlines has launched an internal investigation into regarding Greenwood's situation in February after the Crown Prosecution Service dropped charges of attempted rape and assault.

But five months later, the investigation is still ongoing and it is not yet clear when United should disclose the results of this investigation.

Greenwood was arrested in January last year and suspended from United on a full salary. shortly after the videos and images were posted online. He hasn't trained or played a match since.

On Friday, The Sun reported that a private coach took Greenwood on a 90-minute on-pitch workout at a cost of £85 an hour at a public sports centre.< /p>

He has grown his hair out since he was last seen and was apparently not wearing Nike boots to the session.

Nike ended a lucrative sponsorship deal with Greenwood last February following his arrest .

With Greenwood no longer facing charges and with the prospect of a lawsuit, nothing can stop United from bringing the striker back to the team legally.

But United could face a backlash if they decided to bring Greenwood back into the squad given the sensitivity and sensitivity of the situation.

Manager Erik ten Hag has made signing a striker his priority this summer and also wants to sign Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount, for which United have already had two bids and a goalkeeper rejected.

United's first wave of players are due to report on pre-season in the week starting July 3, but later, in a staggered fashion, for those involved in international matches this month or who are deemed to need more vacation.
