Sources say Greenwood has now “begrudgingly” accepted United’s stance, which gives the club more time to assess whether his alleged conduct has crossed a line.
But after being suspended by the club last year, Greenwood told pals he had no intention of playing for United again.
A source said: “At the time he was adamant he didn’t want to put on the red shirt again.
“He felt like the club didn’t stand by him.
“He said he would be happy to go and play in China as long as that meant he was getting paid well and was playing.
“His view may have softened over the last few months, but he was not happy at all.”
Other sources suggest Greenwood would struggle emotionally with abuse from opposition fans if he played again in England.
The 21-year-old was charged with attempted rape, ABH and coercive and controlling behaviour.
He was arrested in January 2022 and suspended by the club after images and audio were posted on social media alleging he had abused a woman.
Yesterday, his alleged victim’s father said outside the family’s home: “We are just absorbing it all. The bail was only lifted yesterday.
“We are just relieved to get on with our lives and for our daughter.
“She is OK but it has been very stressful.”
