Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood is expected to learn his fate in the near future in relation to allegations of domestic abuse.
Greenwood is currently on bail after being arrested earlier this year on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, making threats to kill and assault.
In the most recent ‘official’ news on the matter, it was confirmed by police that “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.”
It was reported by a British newspaper The Sun last week that Greenwood would likely “discover if he is to face rape charges in a matter of days”.
On Friday, Greenwood’s name trended on Twitter after rumors went viral claiming that he had returned to training with United.
However, the Daily Mail’s Chris Wheeler and BBC Sport’s Simon Stone both confirmed that the rumors were false.
The 20-year-old was arrested on January 30 after police officers responded to seeing an 18-year-old woman reporting claims of violence and sexual threats on social media.
Greenwood has not featured for United since their 1-0 win over West Ham on January 22 after being suspended from playing or training with the club until further notice.
