Date set for Man Utd forward Greenwood trial

Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood is due to face trial over allegations of attempted rape, assault and controlling and coercive behaviour in November 2023, a court has heard.

The 21-year-old player was held in January over allegations relating to a woman after videos were posted online.

He was re-bailed at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court, ahead of a pre-trial hearing on 10 February 2023.

The court also set a trial date for 27 November 2023.

The footballer spoke only once to confirm his name, address and date of birth at the start of proceedings.

His sister and parents were both in court for the hearing, which lasted under 10 minutes.

The court was told the trial is expected to be held over 10 days.
