MANCHESTER United’s Mason Greenwood has had all charges of attempted rape and assault against him dropped.
The Manchester United striker, 21, was first arrested in January last year after police swooped on his mansion.
But charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were today dropped after the Crown Prosecution Service said a number of “key witnesses” withdrew and “new material” came to light.
A CPS spokesperson said: “We have a duty to keep cases under continuous review. In this case a combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.”
And in a statement released this evening on Greenwood’s future, the club said: “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps. We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
