Manchester United forward, Mason Greenwood, has been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill, according to local media.
WuzupNigeria reported that the 20-year-old was arrested on Sunday over rape and assault allegations against his girlfriend, Harriet Robson, 18, who posted some shocking pictures and videos on her Instagram stories.
United have since suspended Greenwood from playing or training with the club until further notice.
This is just as some Red Devils’ stars including Cristiano Ronaldo, Victor Lindelof and Marcus Rashford unfollowed him on Instagram.
Greenwood has also been deleted from FIFA 22, cutting across all platforms including Xbox, PlayStation and PC, as well as offline modes.
Greater Manchester Police said: “Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.
“The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday (January 30) afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
“He continues to be questioned after magistrates authorised an extension until tomorrow (Wednesday 2 February).
“Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
“Enquiries are ongoing and the victim continues to be offered specialist support.
“We remind people to avoid any commentary or sharing of images that could compromise the victim’s right to lifelong anonymity, or risk prejudicing a live investigation with active proceedings.”
