News breaking in England is that all charges previously levelled against Manchester United star Mason Greenwood have been dropped.
New Man Utd Star Speaks After Surprise Deadline-Day Move
A statement released by the Greater Manchester Police on social media on Thursday suggest that Greenwood will not be charged after the accusations made against him late in 2022.
Chief Superintendent Michaela Kerr, GMP's Head of Public Protection, said: "Given the significant media coverage of this case, it is only fair that we share the news that the 21-year-old man, who had been arrested and charged in connection with an investigation opened in January 2022, no longer faces criminal proceedings in relation to this.
"The investigation team has remained in regular contact with the legal team, providing any updates of note, and so understand the rationale for the discontinuation of proceedings at this stage, and that this decision has not been taken lightly.
"Despite the media and public's interest in this case, we have decided not to comment on it in any further detail.
"An ever increasing number of officers are receiving specialist training and the force is more consistently utilising tools, available via the criminal justice system, to keep people safe and care for victims."
Greenwood was arrested in January 2022 after being accused of rape, coercive behaviour and assault by his then-girlfriend.
The footballer has not featured for the Red Devils since the allegations were first reported, and is still under contract until 2025.
