The Premier league star will not appear in the 25-man senior squad – but is on a list of under 21 players who are eligible to play for the first team in the Premier League this season.

The star is still currently on bail as Greater Manchester Police continue to investigate him.

“We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January.”

He joined the team aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.

In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for Utd in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.
