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

The 20-year-old was arrested in January after images and videos were posted online. He was also questioned on suspicion of making threats to kill.

Greenwood was given conditional bail, which was set to run out on Saturday.

“We are continuing to investigate an allegation made to us on Sunday 30 January of online social media photographs and videos posted by a woman describing acts of physical assault,” Greater Manchester Police said in a statement.

“A 20-year-old male who was detained that day on accusations of rape, assault, and threats to kill a woman is still out on bond.”

“A court application has been filed to extend his bail beyond Saturday, April 30th, but the hearing is not scheduled until mid-June.”

“Until the date of the court hearing, the suspect will be released on conditional bond.”

The striker, who has only made one appearance for England, was immediately prohibited from playing or practicing with the Old Trafford club until further notice when the allegations surfaced online.

Greenwood’s sponsorship deal with Nike has been canceled, and he has been removed from active squads in Electronic Arts’ FIFA 22 game.
