Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has today been denied bail after appearing in court charged with attempted rape, ABH and controlling behaviour.

The United striker, 21, has already been held in custody for two nights after he was charged on Saturday.

Greenwood will now be remanded until his next court appearance on November 21 at Minshull Street Crown Court.

The footballer appeared at Greater Manchester Magistrates' Court today where he was supported by his family.

His alleged victim was also seen being supported by a female friend as she sat outside the courtroom.

Greenwood, who wore a grey hoodie, white t-shirt and grey joggers, spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth and address
