United said Greenwood had pulled out to recover fully from the injury that also forced him out of the Under-21 European Championship in March.
"Mason's club appearances were managed carefully to maintain his availability through the intensive 2020-21 Premier League and Europa League schedules," the club said in a statement.

"But a further spell of tournament football would not be beneficial and Mason will remain at United to recuperate and prepare for pre-season training."
