Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has bail extended

Greater Manchester Police have revealed that Manchester United and England forward Mason Greenwood will remain on bail until the middle of June.

Earlier this year, the 20-year-old was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault following accusations from a woman.

The Man United academy product was then further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill, and he remains suspended by his club until further notice.

Greenwood's bail was due to expire on Saturday, but GMP have said that they are continuing to investigate the accusations that were made at the end of January.

"We are continuing to investigate a report made to us on Sunday 30 January of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence," read a statement from GMP.

"A 20-year-old man arrested that day on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman, and threats to kill, remains on bail.

"An application has been made to the courts to have his bail extended beyond Saturday 30 April, but the hearing isn't expected to be until mid-June. The suspect will remain on conditional bail until the date of the court hearing."

Greenwood, who last featured against West Ham United on January 22, has scored six times and registered two assists in 24 appearances in all competitions for Man United this season.
