MANCHESTER United forward Mason Greenwood will remain on bail until mid-June over allegations he raped and assaulted a young woman.

Greenwood, 20, was arrested in January after images and videos were posted online. He was also questioned on suspicion of making threats to kill.

He was released on conditional bail, which was due to expire tomorrow.

In an update on the investigation, Greater Manchester Police said: “We are continuing to investigate a report made to us on Sunday, January 30, 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, April 30, but the hearing is not expected to be until mid-June.

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

Within hours of the allegations surfacing online, Greenwood, who has made one appearance for England, was suspended from playing or training with the club until further notice.
