Greenwood’s comeback has subsequently been delayed and Countdown star Riley, a lifelong United fan who has worked for the club in the past, insists she will no longer be able to call herself a fan once the player’s return is confirmed.

‘I won’t be able to support United if Greenwood remains at the club,’ Riley said in a statement on social media.

‘It would be devastating for my club to contribute to a culture that brushes this under the carpet. I really hope they do the right thing.’

Riley is not alone in having voiced concerns over Greenwood’s potential comeback with a group of fans having protested outside Old Trafford ahead of Monday night’s Premier League opening game against Wolves.
