Manchester United Forward Greenwood Granted Bail
Manchester United Player, Mason Greenwood has been released on bail after a private hearing at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.
The 21-year-old is accused of attempted rape, assault, and using coercive force as well as controlling behaviour.
Naija News earlier reported that the British international was arrested for violating bail terms on the 15th of October.
The alleged attempted rape occurred in October 2021, while the alleged controlling and coercive behaviour occurred between November 2018 and October of this year.
Greenwood is also accused of keeping tabs on the complainant’s (Harriet Robson) social media activity during this time.
Reports state that the charge of assault causing actual bodily harm stems from an incident that allegedly happened in December 2021.
The forward’s participation in games has been suspended by Manchester United while the case is still being resolved. In addition, Greenwood has lost several of his endorsements, including Nike, and EA has confirmed that he has been dropped from active FIFA 22 squads.
As Naija News previously reported, United was recently compelled to publicly confirm that Greenwood’s playing status had not changed after fans noticed that his name was still listed on the website.
The forward is still getting his reported weekly salary of around £75,000 while on suspension, pending the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
On November 21, Greenwood will make a court appearance in Manchester Minshull Street.
