Manchester United's Mason Greenwood charged with attempted rape, assault and controlling behaviour

Mason Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour and assault occasioning actual bodily harm.

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. United did not make any further comment as police continue their investigation. The Manchester United forward has not featured for the team since January after he was bailed following his arrest on suspicion of rape, assault and questioned about claims of making threats to kill, the Mirror reports.
