Just days after being taken into custody over sexual assault allegations, Mason Greenwood has been released on bail pending further investigations.

The 20-year-old was detained on Sunday after his girlfriend alleging incidents of violence posted pictures and videos on social media. The allegations posted on Instagram included videos, photographs and a voice note allegedly of a conversation between Greenwood and the girl.

Police were granted extra time on Monday to question Mr Greenwood. On Wednesday, Greater Manchester Police said Greenwood was released from custody on bail pending further inquiries.

A statement said: "A 20-year-old man arrested (on Sunday 30 January 2022) on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman has been released on bail pending further investigation".

Severe consequences from his team and promoters

On Tuesday night, Manchester United released a statement reiterating their "strong condemnation of violence of any kind".

The club added: "As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice."

The striker, from Bradford, was earlier removed from versions of the FIFA 22 game following his initial arrest after Nike suspended their deal with the player.

A spokesperson from the game's manufacturer Electronic Arts said: "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 earlier Nike statement read: "We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation."

Manchester United are also allowing supporters who have purchased shirts with Greenwood's name printed on them to change them for another shirt and name of their choice.
