England forward Mason Greenwood was dropped over a breach of coronavirus quarantine guidelines in Iceland.
United’s Greenwood, 18, and ManCity midfielder Phil Foden, 20, were told to leave Gareth Southgate’s squad on Monday.
Greenwood said: “I can only apologise for the embarrassment I have caused.”
He added: “In particular, I want to apologise to Gareth Southgate, for letting him down, when he had shown great trust in me.”
“Playing for England was one of the proudest moments in my life and I only have myself to blame for this huge mistake.
“I promise my family, the fans, Manchester United and England that this is a lesson I will learn from.”
The Football Association has launched a “full investigation” and apologised to the Football Association of Iceland, saying it is “taking the appropriate steps”.
