The Greater Manchester police issued a brief update on their investigation on Friday.

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood’s bail is set to be extended as the Greater Manchester police continue an investigation.

The 20-year-old was arrested in January after his former partner,  Harriet Robson,  accused him of domestic violence by  uploading  video and images of  bruises on her body on Instagram.

Police later released Greenwood on bail pending further investigation and have now applied for an extension.

His bail was due to expire this Saturday.

In a statement on Friday, a police spokesman said: “We are continuing to investigate a report made to us on Sunday 30 January of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.

“A 20-year-old man arrested that day on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman, and threats to kill, remains on bail.

“An application has been made to the courts to have his bail extended beyond Saturday 30 April, but the hearing isn’t expected to be until mid-June.

“The suspect will remain on conditional bail until the date of the court hearing.”

Greenwood remains suspended by Manchester United and, therefore, is not eligible to play.
