MASON Greenwood shirts have been dropped from Manchester United's kit launch ahead of the new Premier League season.

The suspended striker, 21, was last week pictured training on a pitch for the first time since his arrest on suspicion of rape and assault in January last year.

All charges were dropped in February, but he has not played since and remains and subject to an internal investigation.

Greenwood remains under contract at United until 2025 and there has been speculation over a return to the pitch, with his future understood not to be linked to a pending takeover.

It comes as the Old Trafford club have now launched their new home kit for the upcoming season on the club website, with the traditional red Shirt available for adults from £110.

However, supporters will not be able to purchase a shirt with Greenwood's name on the back after it was omitted from the launch.

All other names from the senior men's and women's sides are available, but Greenwood is not included in the list.

United’s current owners are understood to have not yet made a decision over the £50million player’s future.

But The Sun revealed manager Erik ten Hag is willing to bring Greenwood back into his squad.

And most of his team-mates at Old Trafford would welcome him back into the dressing room if the club agrees.

Greenwood is also keen to get back playing, with a source saying: "Like him or not, Mason wants to get back to playing football. It’s the thing he’s best at and the only way for him to successfully rebuild his life.

"He is fed up with waiting around and he and his team now expect an answer one way or another from United."
