Mason Greenwood ‘Arrested For Breaching Bail On Rape And Assault Allegations’

The Manchester United striker, 21, was arrested in January over allegations of rape, assault and making threats to kill after images and videos were posted online.

He is now being questioned again on suspicion of flouting the stipulations of his release by contacting his alleged victim, according to The Sun.

Greater Manchester Police said it is ‘aware of an allegation regarding a 21-year-old man breaching his bail conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday October 15, 2022’, adding: ‘Enquiries are ongoing at this time.’

Mason Greenwood ‘arrested for breaching bail on rape and assault allegations’. Greenwood’s bail was due to expire in April, but the force successfully applied to have it extended at a court hearing in June.

A spokesman later said no further updates would be issued until the suspect was charged or released facing no further action.

Within hours of the allegations surfacing online, the striker – who has made one appearance for England – was suspended from playing or training with the Old Trafford club until further notice.

Nike suspended its sponsorship deal with Greenwood, and later terminated it, while Electronic Arts confirmed his removal from active squads on its FIFA 22 game.
