Mystery team behind Mason Greenwood’s football comeback revealed as Man Utd striker seen training in park

MASON Greenwood 's mystery trainer has been revealed as a professional football coach specialising in goal scoring.

The Man Utd striker, 21, was yesterday spotted practising shooting in a private session as he plots his comeback.

Greenwood hasn't touched a ball for the team since he was arrested for attempted rape, assault and coercive control last January.

The charges against him were dropped in February but the footballer remains suspended by Utd.

As a result, he has taken to practising his skills at public training grounds as opposed to the team's base at Carrington.

It can now be revealed the star was joined in training by Ben Mangan, who describes himself as an "individual professional football coach".

Mangan counts Greenwood's ex-teammate Anthony Elanga among his clients, as well as Utd youngster Kobbie Mainoo.

The coach, who has also shared a picture of Greenwood on his site, offers both individual training in 75 minute sessions and partner or group training.

He claims to be a specialist in attacking and goal scoring and charges between £105 and £150 per session.

Greenwood was also joined by his dad and manager Andrew, who instructed the striker as he ran through shooting drills.

Andrew was seen holding his baby granddaughter, who Greenwood's partner Harriet Robson gave birth to last month.

It is understood Utd have drawn up the striker's training programmes and are monitoring his progress.

But while he is suspended, Greenwood is instead being put through his paces by personal coaches rather than the team's own staff.

He was previously seen training with Elanga and Irish star , 19, who plays for Italian side Udinese.

The trio posed up for a picture together after the session in Dubai last month.

Greenwood has remained "in limbo" about his future at Utd after chiefs launched their own five-month probe into the claims.

No decision has been revealed on whether or not the star striker will return - even though the new season is just days away.

Manager Erik ten Hag and the majority of the first team have suggested they were open to the idea of bringing the Greenwood back.

But United’s women’s team were understood to have reservations, while sponsors were left concerned about being linked to the footballer.

Greenwood joined Utd 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 United in the Champions League when he took to the pitch aged 17.
