Manchester United footballer, Mason Greenwood, has been charged with “attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm” by the police.
This was announced by an Italian Sports Journalist, Fabrizio Romano, who shared the news on his social media platforms, quoting the Crown Prosecution Service in charge of the case as his source.
"Man Utd’s Mason Greenwood has been charged with “attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm”, the Crown Prosecution Service said," Fabrizio revealed.
SaharaReporters had reported in February that Mason Greenwood was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill.
The 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) had said it had been granted more time to question him, having previously been given an extension.
The 20-year-old striker made his debut for the club in March 2019.
Manchester United has said he will not play for the club until further notice.
GMP said the player was arrested after the force "became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.”
A force spokesman said inquiries were ongoing and a woman was being "offered specialist support".
Greenwood, who made his debut for the club in March 2019, signed a four-year deal in February 2021 after rising through the ranks of the academy.
Manchester United said on Sunday the club "did not condone violence of any kind" and had been made aware of the allegations but would make no further comment until the "facts have been established.”
Due to this incident, Greenwood was removed from FIFA 22 by EA Sports and could no longer feature on the popular football simulation gaming title in offline modes and has been removed from the United squad.
However, the forward's FIFA 22 Ultimate Team item remains active, and can still be traded on the FUT 22 transfer market.
Following the striker's suspension from FIFA 22 February, EA Sports issued a statement confirming his suspension from the game, giving more details about which game modes he has been suspended from.
"Mason Greenwood has been removed from active squads in FIFA 22 and has also been suspended from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft," an EA Sports spokesperson had told Manchester Evening News.
