It has been over two years since the 22-year-old was arrested on charges related to attempted rape, assault, and coercive and controlling behaviour.

However, the charges were dropped in February 2023 after key witnesses were said to have withdrawn. Last season, the Bradford native restarted his career away from United as he was loaned out to Getafe.
Now the England international has left Old Trafford permanently after completing his move to Olympique de Marseille, however, the attacker is still feeling the ramifications of his arrest in January 2022.
