Mason Greenwood update: Twitter remove verification for Man Utd footballer

Mason Greenwood has not featured for Manchester United since January this year after the footballer was suspended by the club for allegations made against him.

The 20-year-old was accused of rape and making threats to kill by his ex-girlfriend at the start of this year and although he has not been charged with any crime, an investigation is ongoing and Greenwood is currently released on bail.

Twitter remove Greenwood verification

In the latest update, it has emerged that Twitter have now removed Greenwood’s verification on Twitter – a blue tick next to a profile’s username to prove authenticity.

Greenwood had been verified on Twitter since 2019 and the social media app has not revealed why his tick has been removed amid ongoing investigations.

Interestingly, Greenwood is still listed as a first-team player on the official Manchester United website, with his squad number also on display next to stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial.

“An exciting striker who has been well ahead of schedule in terms of his progress through the ranks at United and has made a huge impact in 2019/20,” is how Greenwood is described on his profile.

There is little clarity on Greenwood’s situation as things stand.
