Ralf Rangnick has admitted that Mason Greenwood's arrest influenced Manchester United's decision to keep Jesse Lingard at Old Trafford beyond the January transfer window.
United reiterated on Thursday that Greenwood will not play for the club or train until further notice despite his release on bail pending further investigation after he was arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault and threats to kill.
Rangnick confirmed that the situation with the 20-year-old England forward impacted on Lingard's hopes of leaving United on loan for the rest of the season after the club rejected offers from Newcastle and West Ham on deadline day.
