Mr Arnold said that Utd are working to make sure at the front of players’ minds is promoting healthier relationships and behaviours.

Greenwood, 22, was arrested in October last year but all charges were dropped in February by the Crown Prosecution Service.

The striker – who has denied any wrongdoing – was provided with a pathway back to football by La Liga side Getafe.

Meanwhile Brazil star Antony has vowed to clear his name after allegations of assault were levelled at him in bombshell claims.

Antony has strongly denied all allegations made against him and volunteered to meet cops in Manchester for questioning.

He was also voluntarily interviewed by Brazilian cops in June and was free to leave for the UK after cooperating with Sao Paulo police.

Antony has not been arrested or charged in either the UK or Brazil.

Now, some United staff have started the process of searching for new work, reports MailOnline.

Last month, United CEO Richard Arnold led an all-staff meeting during which he was grilled extensively about the club’s handling of situations.

Those who attended were left under no illusion of the level of dissatisfaction from staff.

This is allegedly because of the disappointment at how the club handled the cases.

But sources insist there has not been a spike in staff exits following the Greenwood and Antony sagas.

United employ over 1,000 people and have a regular turnover of staff.

Teresa Parker, head of media at Women’s Aid, said she has been sharing information about domestic abuse with United and the club has listened to feedback from survivors.

She said: “We welcome these conversations.”

Antony previously said that he “trusts ongoing police investigations” to reveal the “truth about my innocence”.

Last month, the star gave a tearful interview in which he denied the allegations made against him, and stated he does not fear for his United future.

But beyond Greenwood and Antony, staff are also understood to have confronted Arnold over structural imbalances within the club.

It comes as Greenwood spoke out after scoring his first professional goal for nearly two years following his loan move to Getafe.
