LONDON: Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill, the Greater Manchester Police said yesterday after accusations surfaced online that the 20-year-old forward had assaulted a woman.
Police said they had detained a suspect on Sunday after they were made aware of online social media posts by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
The allegations against Greenwood – including video, photographs and a voice note – were posted on Instagram on Sunday and later deleted.
“Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman,” Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.
