      The property, in Bowdon, Cheshire, has a games room, a home office, a gym and staff accommodation and is billed as the “perfect family home”.
      The listing will fuel speculation the forward is preparing to leave the Premier League to join a foreign club on loan.
      Yesterday, The Sun revealed Greenwood, 21, had had a private training session at a public sports centre in Manchester.
      He has not played since January last year — when he was arrested after a woman made allegations of physical and sexual abuse.

      Greenwood is still on the books at United, despite being suspended.
      The club is yet to make a decision on his future and is still to complete an internal investigation.

      Reds boss Erik ten Hag and most first team players are said to be willing to give Greenwood, who is expecting a baby with his partner this summer, another chance.
      But executives would be afraid of the commercial implications. More

      West Ham defender Cresswell — compared to a squirrel by former teammate Mark Noble — got permission in February last year to demolish an existing property and build a six-bed pad with cinema, garden pavilion and playground.
      But the rural plot in Formby, Merseyside, is next to a National Trust red squirrel refuge.
      And it is illegal under the Wildlife and Countryside Act to disturb them.
      Cameras caught squirrels near a potential nest, halting work until after the breeding season.

      Red squirrel populations have declined massively in recent decades as they have been replaced by larger grey squirrels.
      The species can only now be found in parts of northern England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
      Cresswell, 33, plans a sedum plants roof to boost biodiversity and a hedgehog home in his garden.
      Documents filed at the local council reveal Cresswell originally bought the property for £1.1million three years ago but it remained vacant while he lived in London.
