Greenwood had been released in January on bail awaiting additional examinations after he was captured on doubt of assault and rape of a woman. He was later additionally captured on doubt of rape and conveying intimidations to kill.

The claims against Greenwood were posted on Instagram and later deleted.

“We are continuing to investigate a report made to us on Sunday 30 January of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence,” the Greater Manchester Police said.

“A 20-year-old man arrested that day on suspicion of the rape and assault of a woman, and threats to kill, remains on bail. An application has been made to the courts to have his bail extended beyond Saturday 30 April, but the hearing isn’t expected to be until mid-June. The suspect will remain on conditional bail until the date of the court hearing.”

Greenwood stays suspended by Manchester United until additional notification, while he was dropped by Nike in February.

The forward started his profession at United’s academy and has played once for the England national team.
