Mason Greenwood remains on bail following rape allegation

Mason Greenwood will remain on bail over allegations he raped and assaulted a young woman following a court hearing.

The 20-year-old was arrested in January after images and videos were posted online. This also led to him being questioned by police.

Meanwhile, Greater Manchester Police have provided an update on their case involving Greenwood. His bail was due to expire in April, but the GMP made an application to the courts to extend it.

The Manchester United academy graduate was arrested on suspicion of assault, rape and making threats to kill.

On Friday, a force spokesperson said (via ITV): “Following a hearing yesterday, a 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of rape, assault and making threats to kill on Sunday January 30 remains on bail.”

The GMP added that no further updates would be issued until Greenwood is charged or released facing no further action.

The club reacted quickly to suspend Greenwood from first-team activities after his arrest.

On top of that, the player lost his biggest sponsorship deals, even with Nike.

Greater Manchester Police have issued a statement to confirm the youngster remains on bail following a hearing on 23 June.

More updates to follow in due course.
