Police have been granted more time to question Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.

The 20-year-old footballer, who made his debut for the club in March 2019, was arrested on Sunday following allegations on social media.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said he remained in custody for questioning.

Manchester United earlier said the forward would not return to training or matches until further notice.

Greenwood has not responded to the social media allegations.

GMP said: "Detectives have been granted additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who is being held on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.

"Inquiries are ongoing and the victim is being offered specialist support."

The force added: "We remind people to avoid any commentary or sharing of images that could compromise the victim's right to lifelong anonymity, or risk prejudicing a live investigation with active proceedings."

Better yet, keep his d-ck in his pants. No sex before marriage.

Trying to get away with rape. Who does he think he is? A democrat politician? I would not suggest trying to dispose of the inconvenience by driving his car into a river with her in it then

It’s actually 24 hours. Police have to apply to a magistrate to extend.

Most people on Earth aren’t devout Christians, and don’t G.A.S. about your advice. I don’t know a single guy that waited until marriage.
