Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has had criminal charges against him dropped.
The Englishman had faced allegations of attempted rape, controlling and coercive behavior and assault after an investigation was opened against the 21-year-old in January 2022.

“Given the significant media coverage of this case, it is only fair that we share the news that the 21-year-old man, who had been arrested and charged in connection with an investigation opened in January 2022, no longer faces criminal proceedings in relation to this.
“The investigation team has remained in regular contact with the legal team, providing any updates of note, and so understand the rationale for the discontinuation of proceedings at this stage, and that this decision has not been taken lightly.
“Despite the media and public’s interest in this case, we have decided not to comment on it in any further detail,” a statement Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr, GMP’s Head of Public Protection noted.
It is not clear yet whether the player will be back in the United’s team soon but his name had not been scrapped off their roster despite losing Nike as his sponsor.
