Mason Greenwood has been suspended by Manchester United on the back of an assault accusation.
For those not familiar, a series of photos, videos and audio clips were posted on the Instagram account of Harriet Robson, understood to be Greenwood’s girlfriend, on Sunday.
The posts in question, which have now been deleted, would see Greenwood accused of assaulting Robson.
Following this, Manchester United released a statement which read as follows: “We are aware of images and allegations circulating on social media.
“We will not make any further comment until the facts have been established. Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.”
Nike, the sponsor of Greenwood, also released a statement of their own:
