The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge the 21-year-old with the offences, which all relate to the same complainant. He is due to appear at Manchester Magistrates Court on Monday, October 17.
This morning (Saturday, October 15), senior officials at Manchester United confirmed he had been arrested after allegations he breached his bail conditions by contacting the alleged victim.
