Manchester United have released a statement after Mason Greenwood was charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour and ABH.

The forward, 21, was suspended after spending three nights in custody in January after police swooped on his home in Bowdon, Greater Manchester.

The club said in a statement: "Manchester United notes that criminal charges have been brought against Mason Greenwood by the Crown Prosecution Service.

"He remains suspended by the club, pending the outcome of the judicial process."

Police confirmed Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, ABH and coercive and controlling behaviour.

It comes after he was arrested this morning on suspicion of being in contact with his alleged victim.
