Greater Manchester Police has also confirmed that a man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.

Greenwood’s shirt has been removed from sale from the club’s online store following the allegations as an investigation is still ongoing.

Customers can not currently select the 20-year-old’s name as an option for the back of products and he can no longer be seen on the list of players on the club’s official online shop.

A spokesperson for Nike said, “We have suspended our relationship with Mason Greenwood.

“We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.”

Some Manchester United players Ronaldo, Pogba, Rashford, Cavani and Lingard have also unfollowed the England international on social media platforms.
