In February this year, the CPS dropped all criminal charges against Greenwood after “key witnesses were withdrawn and new documents came to light”.
United’s internal investigation into Greenwood ended in August with the conclusion that he would not play for them.
The statement said: “All those involved, including Mason, recognized the difficulties at the start of his career at Manchester United.
“As a result, everyone has agreed that it is most appropriate for him to leave Old Trafford and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.”
