Earlier, Crystal Palace forward Andros Townsend urged Greenwood to see a sports psychologist in a bid to get rid of his problems.
“He needs players around him like Harry Maguire, experienced players who have been through it, to put their arm around him,” Townsend said on talkSPORT, per the Daily Mail.
“He needs his manager to stay by his side, which I know Ole probably will.
“He needs family and good friends around him, and the other thing is he needs to see a sports psychologist.
“Somebody who has spoken to other players in his position and who knows what's going on from the outside to help him through it.”
