“The initial signals from Adidas are positive. Without their blessing, it would be hard to see a way back,” the report noted.

“But they have communicated his return would not necessarily be an insurmountable obstacle.

“They have certainly given the impression they would not be fiercely opposed to it.”

Update on Greenwood

On Saturday, a report from The Sun stated that the forward could be on his way back after meeting with one of United’s main sponsors.

The report noted that German kit makers, Adidas, could have paved the way for Greenwood’s return after a positive meeting between the youngster and Adidas.

United are expected to decide Greenwood’s face in the coming weeks as they weigh in on the severe case of rape and assault.

While he awaits a resolution, Greenwood, spotted earlier this week in Manchester with his girlfriend, who has since birthed a baby, has returned to training with some personal sessions.

The 21-year-old has also seen his training regime overseen by United staff, with the forward speaking to manager Erik Ten Hag on more than one occasion.
