He was later charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour, before the charges were dropped in February.

United have been conducting their own investigation into the allegations.

A decision on his future at the Red Devils is said to be imminent with the club set to make an announcement in the next two weeks.

And now Ten Hag has addressed the situation during United’s pre-season tour, according to the Manchester Evening News.

He was asked if he had spoken to Greenwood recently at the RIMAC Annex at the University of California San Diego on Saturday.

The Dutchman, 53, replied: “I said everything in New York. I don’t want to answer the question anymore because it’s not different.

“I’ve shared my opinion and I don’t want to repeat my opinion.”

Ahead of United’s friendly with Arsenal at the MetLife Stadium on July 22, Ten Hag was also questioned about Greenwood.

He told reporters: “On this, it’s a club decision and of course, I said my opinions but it’s a club decision and we have to accept that.”

And asked whether he would like to keep Greenwood at the club, the manager added: “I can’t say so much about it but I shared my opinion about it, so let’s see what’s going to happen.”

United are expected to make an announcement on the young striker’s future soon, having completed their exhaustive internal probe.

It is understood Ten Hag and the majority of the first team are willing to give Greenwood another chance, but a loan move abroad appears to be the most likely option.

United’s women’s team is also reported to have reservations, while sponsors are also concerned about being linked to the £75,000-a-week player.
