Mason Greenwood arrested on suspicion of sexual assault

the attacker of Manchester United, Mason Greenwood, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and death threats to his ex-girlfriend. The player had been in preventive detention since Sunday, but he had his prison extended for investigation and police interrogation.

Harriet Robson posted on her social network images showing bruises and parts of her body bleeding, as well as audio in which the athlete threatens to kill her. All this took on enormous proportions, which made the local police keep the Englishman in preventive detention.

Since what happened, some of his teammates have stopped following Greenwood on social media, names like Cristiano Ronaldo, Paul Pogba and Brazilian Alex Telles are among them. The club, which follows the situation closely, no longer relates the player to matches and training until the case is closed, in addition to having taken shirts with his name from the team’s official stores.

Another action taken on the matter involves sponsors. Cadbury said it will not put the athlete in its advertising campaigns, Team Viewer said it is following the investigation, but everything indicates that it will do the same for the other company.

The video game Fifa withdrew its card from online modes. Nike suspended its contract with Greenwood after he was arrested on the 30th. “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation,” the brand said.

Investigations must continue and the player will be interrogated until tomorrow. “Detectives were given additional time to speak with the 20-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of raping and assaulting a woman. He continues to be questioned after the magistrates authorized an extension until tomorrow (Wednesday, February 2),” police said in a statement.
