All requests will need to be submitted by March 31 2022.
The striker was arrested by officers in Manchester on suspicion of rape and GBH, and spent three nights in the cells.
He has since been bailed after being arrested for the string of alleged offences.
It comes as fans were initially left in limbo when they asked if jersey swaps could be made, after the £100-million-rated striker was arrested.
A Man United fan forked out £135 on a full kit for his son, with Greenwood’s name on, and had contacted the club to ask for the change after buying it at the beginning of the season.
The £75,000 a week footballer has been suspended indefinitely by the club following his arrest, with United releasing a new statement after his re-arrest.
A spokesman for the club said: “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.”
Cops also arrived at the star’s rented £2million six bedroom mansion in Bowdon, in Trafford, Greater Manchester, on Sunday.
Both it and a home he bought nearby for his parents are being guarded by a private security company.
Greenwood was removed from Manchester United’s squad on FIFA 22 following claims made against him.
He has also been removed from the Man Utd squad list on the game, after the club removed any merchandise with his name on from their website.
The club’s official partner Cadbury said Greenwood won’t appear on any of their marketing products.
Sponsor TeamViewer announced that they are “closely monitoring developments”.
Sportswear giant Nike, which provides the striker’s boots, have also suspended their sponsorship with the star.
