Mason Greenwood 'victim' breaks silence on 'difficult' week in wake of rape arrest

Mason Greenwood's alleged rape victim has broken her silence to publicly thank her supporters after the Manchester United forward was released on bail.

Nike has suspended its sponsorship deal with Greenwood, while United’s shirt sponsor TeamViewer is closely monitoring developments.
