The Manchester United youngster is under arrest for allegations of rape and assault.

A new update from Greater Manchester Police reveals Mason Greenwood remains under police investigation following his arrest on January 30.

In April, Police received a request to extend the 20-year-old’s bail. Following a hearing on hearing on Thursday, the Police confirmed the decision to keep Greenwood under investigation.

A Greater Manchester Police statement reads: “Following a hearing yesterday (Thursday 23 June 2022), a 20-year-old man arrested on suspicion of rape, assault and making threats to kill on Sunday 30 January 2022 remains on bail.

“As the outcome of bail reviews does not impact the progression of investigations, Greater Manchester Police will not be providing any further updates in relation to this case until the suspect is charged or released facing no further action.”

With Manchester United heading into the next season, it is unlikely they would have Greenwood back at their disposal anytime soon. In their last update on the player, published in April, the club insisted they have suspended the player until further notice.

“There has been no change whatsoever in Mason’s status,” a statement on United’s official website reads.

We removed his profile from the club app soon after he was removed from the squad in January. This was in order to remove Mason from interactive elements of the app, such as team predictions.

“However, his profile was never removed from the website as he remains a Manchester United player, albeit not currently part of the squad, while the legal process unfolds.”
