“We had a good normal week of training with five training sessions including today’s training.

“It was a good week of training, we could train under normal circumstances and we are looking forward to the game, it will not affect us”The club reiterated their stance on Friday that Greenwood would not be playing any part in training or games until further notice.
“Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind. As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice.” it said
