LONDON — Manchester United forward Mason
Greenwood has been arrested over an alleged breach of bail conditions, British
police said on Saturday.
The 21-year-old was first held in January over the
alleged rape and assault of a young woman after images and videos were posted
online. He was also questioned on suspicion of making threats to kill.
Greenwood has been on bail since.
A police spokesman said: “Greater Manchester Police
are aware of an allegation regarding a 21-year-old man breaching his bail
conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday, 15 October 2022.”
“Enquiries are ongoing at this time,” he said.
Within hours of the allegations surfacing online at
the beginning of the year, Greenwood, who has made one appearance for England,
was suspended from playing or training with United.
Nike suspended and later terminated its sponsorship deal
with Greenwood, while Electronic Arts confirmed his removal from active squads
on its FIFA 22 game.
