Manchester United offer
to replace Greenwood
shirts amid ongoing
police investigation
Manchester United have written to supporters
offering to replace any replica shirts with
Mason Greenwood's name on the back.
Greenwood has been suspended by the club
"until further notice" after becoming the
subject of a police investigation following the
circulation of images and an audio file on
social media.
The 20-year-old was released on bail on
Wednesday following his arrest on Sunday on
suspicion of rape and assault.
He was further arrested while in custody on
Tuesday on suspicion of sexual assault and
making threats to kill. Police enquiries are
ongoing.
United removed all merchandise related to
Greenwood from their website on Monday,
and on Thursday the club sent an email to all
supporters who have purchased Greenwood's
No. 11 shirt this season to offer an exchange
for another player.
The email read: "As a United Direct customer
we are writing to you regarding your previous
purchase of a Manchester United shirt
personalised with Greenwood, given the
current circumstances relating to Mason
Greenwood.
"We can confirm that United Direct and adidas
customers who purchased a Manchester
United shirt that was personalised with
Greenwood's name and number, have the
opportunity to exchange it for this season's
home shirt personalised with another player's
name without charge."
Nike have suspended their relationship with
Greenwood.
In a statement issued on Monday, a
spokesperson for the sportswear company
said: "We have suspended our relationship
with Mason Greenwood. We are deeply
concerned by the disturbing allegations and
will continue to closely monitor the situation."
United clarified on Thursday that Greenwood
remains unavailable for training and matches
despite his release on police bail. They face
Middlesbrough in the FA Cup fourth round at
Old Trafford on Friday.
