Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood has been arrested following the allegation levelled against him by his girlfriend. The British police have arrested him on suspicion of rape and assault following allegations on social media. Greater Manchester Police said it was made aware of “social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence”.
The statement released by the police also said: “We can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault”. He remains in custody for questioning as investigations are still ongoing. Manchester United earlier said the player would not return to training or matches until further notice.
The club said they “do not condone violence of any kind” and had been made aware of the allegations on social media but would make no further comment until the “facts have been established”. Mason Greenwood is yet to respond to any of the allegations against him on social media. The player could face up to 15 to 20 years imprisonment sentence if found guilty after the investigations.
