Manchester United say Mason Greenwood still won't train or play after being released on bail

February 03, 2022

Manchester United have reiterated that Mason Greenwood will not train or play for the club until further notice after he was released on bail.

The 20-year-old was arrested over the alleged rape and assault of a young woman on Sunday after images and videos were posted online.

While still in custody on Tuesday, he was further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

Within hours of the allegations appearing on Sunday morning, United announced the England international was suspended from playing or training with them.

After being released on bail yesterday, the club have reiterated that stance, saying the situation is unchanged.

Greater Manchester Police have not named the footballer, but said on Wednesday: "A 20-year-old man arrested on Sunday, January 30, 2022 on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman has been released on bail pending further investigation."

The forward, from Bradford, made his debut in 2019 and has since made 129 appearances for United.

He made his senior England debut in 2020.

Nike has suspended its deal with Greenwood, and EA has confirmed his removal from active squads in FIFA 22.

Interim manager Ralf Rangnick is expected to speak to the media to preview Friday's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Middlesbrough on Thursday afternoon.
