Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood has been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

Greenwood was first arrested on Sunday morning on suspicion of rape and assault.

Allegations were made on social media against the footballer in a series of posts - which have since been deleted - and police will now keep Greenwood in custody to continue with their enquiries.

A statement from Greater Manchester Police read: "Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.

"The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday (30 January) afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.

"He continues to be questioned after magistrates authorised an extension until tomorrow (Wednesday 2 February).

"Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

"Enquiries are ongoing and the victim continues to be offered specialist support.

"We remind people to avoid any commentary or sharing of images that could compromise the victim's right to lifelong anonymity, or risk prejudicing a live investigation with active proceedings."

Manchester United announced on Sunday that Greenwood had been suspended by the club and won't be taking part in training or matches for the foreseeable future.

"Mason Greenwood will not return to training or play matches until further notice," the club confirmed.

Nike have since announced that they have suspended their deal with Greenwood, while the player has also been removed from the FIFA22 video game.

Both of those decisions were taken before Greenwood was further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

The only Mason I know is Mason Mount, any other Mason is a bricklayer.

no matter how successful you are

always be careful when dealing with people especially the "f" gender.

I like women,but if it doesn't workout between us,you make way nwayolly so others can come in.

No matter how successful you are, always remember to be a decent human being.

Treat people with the respect you wish to be treated with, be extra careful in how you conduct yourself, so that your actions cannot be misconstrued as negative.

As a famous person, you do not have the cloak of anonymity that ordinary people have. You will be upheld to a higher standard and you must strive to live up to that standard.

Most importantly, be a decent human being, think of all of your actions, ESPECIALLY when you live in a country where repercussions exist for your actions

If you are in a shithole country like Nigeria though, you may not have to be as careful.
