Man Utd striker Greenwood sees bail extended

Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has had his police bail extended over allegations he raped and assaulted a young woman earlier this year.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) applied to have his bail extended at Manchester and Salford Magistrates, where it was granted.

The 20-year-old footballer was arrested in January after images and videos were posted online.

He was also later quizzed on suspicion of making threats to kill as he spent three nights in cells at a Greater Manchester police station.

Greenwood was released on conditional bail. This was first extended until mid-June and has now been extended.

However police did not specify when it would run out after yesterday's closed court hearing.
