Greenwood played 129 times for United before joining Marseille for £26.6million last summer.
And in June he was spotted training in Manchester alongside former United pal D'Mani Mellor.
But despite the Ligue 1 season not starting until mid-August, Greenwood has once again been back in his home town for a brutal training session.
This time, the forward was joined by not one but two former United teammates.
The first was England midfielder Kobbie Mainoo, who is still at Old Trafford and desperate to nail down a spot under Ruben Amorim.
Greenwood's second pal was none other than James Garner, who is entering his fourth season at Everton after making just seven appearances for United before leaving in 2022.
And the big-name trio turned heads at a council playing fields in Manchester as they donned training gear and football boots.
Greenwood will be hoping that his extra work during the summer break will boost his numbers further next term.
His haul of 22 was markedly better than the 10 goals netted while on loan at Getafe during the 2023/24 season.
And it's five better than the 17 struck while playing for United in the 2019/20 campaign.

Indeed, Marseille boss De Zerbi reckons Greenwood can become a generational player.
He said: 'Greenwood is a natural talent. All the credit goes to his mother and father. And I'm here to help him become more complete.
'When he needs a hug, a word of support, I gladly give it. And when I need to push him to give more, I have to do that too because that's my job.
'I would especially like to help him be remembered, in this stadium and by these supporters, as one of the greatest players to have played here at the Velodrome.
'There have been so many great players here, but I think Greenwood has the qualities to be remembered that way. And I'm trying to help him progress.'

Premier League club announce plans to expand stadium capacity by 8,000 and reveal ‘urgent changes'
WOLVES have announced plans to expand their stadium capacity by 8,000 seats, with chairman Jeff Shi revealing the need for 'urgent changes.' The Premier League outfit have been playing at their famous Molineux Stadium since 1889. 1 It was one of the first grounds in the country to be equipped with floodlights. And after a major revamp in the early 90s, Molineux became one of England's biggest stadiums with 32,000 seats. However, those numbers are now lagging behind a lot of top flight rivals. Wolves had been thinking about a major expansion to 50,000 seats. But chairman Shi has now decided against a new renovation. Instead, the businessman is planning to add around 8,000 new seats to take capacity to 40,000 That would mark a major increase in revenue for Wolves, who have seen more key men leave this summer to balance the books. Matheus Cunha joined Manchester United for £62.5million last month, with Rayan Ait-Nouri heading to Man City for £36m soon after. It is not known when Wolves plan to start their work on Molineux. Yet Shi is adamant there's no rush to begin, instead claiming that 'urgent changes' are needed in other areas including hospitality. He told the Business of Sport podcast: 'Molineux is not a bad stadium. 'I have been to many stadiums in the UK and it's a good stadium. 'On capacity we have 32,000, and I think it's good enough, maybe 35k or 40k is the max for the city, but it's not urgent. 'The urgent changes are that I think we should have more hospitality areas to serve the clients who want a better environment to have a conference or to eat there. We should do more on this. 'We have a very old stand, the Steve Bull stand, it's too old. The next plan is to try and change a bit there and build more areas for hospitality, similar to what Fulham did with their new stand. "That's what we are trying to do but I don't think the capacity should be much higher than it is now. "Financially, we are carefully thinking about it. The goal is not to rebuild the stand or the stadium, but to tweak it and optimise it."

Tyson Fury officially most financially successful UK sportsman in history as his massive earnings are revealed
TYSON FURY has long been considered one of the wealthiest sportsmen in the UK. And the emergence of some of the Wythenshawe warrior's stunning finances has shown him to be the wealthiest UK sportsman in history. 3 The unaudited abridged accounts for the former two-time heavyweight champion's ' Tyson Fury Ltd' company up until last September were recently published on Companies House. And it shows that the Gypsy King's self-named company is worth a whopping £186million. A staggering £176,691,66 of that figure is made up of investments, with £7,512,199 consisting of cash at the bank and in hand. The remainder is made up of stocks and debtors. The value of Fury's company is likely considerably higher given the fact that the accounts were filed before his multi-million-pound rematch with Oleksandr Usyk last December. SunSport understands Fury pocketed upwards of £80m for his first defeat to the pound-for-pound king last May. His purse for the Riyadh rematch is understood to have been less than that figure, but still large enough to exponentially increase the value of his company. Another cash injection could soon be on the way as Fury has seemingly performed a U-turn on his fifth retirement from boxing. JOIN SUN VEGAS: GET £50 BONUS 3 On Thursday, he posted a photo of himself in action against Usyk to his Instagram story with the caption: "April 18 2026, Wembley Stadium. The trilogy!" His post came hours after he told the media in Turkey:" I want my revenge (on Usyk) in England. That's all I want, a fair shout. "And I don't believe I've got a fair shout the last two times. "That's the one I want but if I don't get that then it will be [Anthony] Joshua, the biggest British fight that will ever happen. "It would break all records and sell out 100,000 at Wembley in an hour. "It's a fight that I think can happen for sure if I decide to come back and the deal's right."

England forced into captaincy change after Nat Sciver-Brunt injury
Nat Sciver-Brunt is an injury doubt for the remainder of England 's white-ball series against India with a groin injury. Sciver-Brunt was unable to field for large parts of the second T20 international at Bristol after suffering the problem, and will definitely miss the third match at The Oval on Friday. Experienced batter Tammy Beaumont will stand in as skipper for the game with Sciver-Brunt facing further scans to assess the severity of the problem and determine if she will miss any further games. Maia Bouchier, in good form domestically for Hampshire, has been called up as batting cover. England have to win the three remaining games to take the T20I series, with three one-day internationals following swiftly afterwards. 'England Women's captain Nat Sciver-Brunt will miss the third Vitality IT20 against India Women at the Kia Oval with a left groin injury,' a statement confirmed. 'Results of the scan will determine whether Sciver-Brunt is required to miss any more games in the series, with the fourth Vitality IT20 due to take place on Wednesday 9 July at Emirates Old Trafford.' Any potential absence for Sciver-Brunt would be a major headache for Charlotte Edwards, who has endured a difficult week after a clean sweep against the West Indies in her first series as head coach. The all-rounder, who has been unable to bowl this summer, was installed as the replacement for Heather Knight after a disastrous Ashes whitewash and is primed to lead England to the World Cup in India this autumn. England struggled to execute their plans with the ball and in the field as India took a 2-0 advantage with victory at Bristol on Tuesday. A hamstring injury has already left Knight facing a race against time to be fit for the World Cup. Her injury opened the door for Beaumont, an opener in 50-over and Test cricket, to return to the T20I side in a new middle-order role, and the 34-year-old will now lead the side in London on Friday night. England have been using a flexible group of vice-captains to support Sciver-Brunt this summer rather than a single vice-captain as they bid to develop more leadership depth.
