Man Utd to launch Mason Greenwood investigation after assault accusations

Mason Greenwood faces a grilling from Manchester United and the police over allegations of domestic violence made against him.

United have been left stunned after Greenwood's girlfriend Harriet Robson posted photographs and videos on social media of serious injuries she claims the England star inflicted on her.

Both United and Greater Manchester Police have launched separate investigations to establish the circumstances – leaving Greenwood's career and reputation in the balance.

And the stunning development is the first crisis Richard Arnold will have to deal with as he gets poised to replace Ed Woodward as the club's new CEO this week.

United issued a statement insisting they "did not condone violence of any kind" and said: "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."

A statement from GMP said: "Greater Manchester Police is aware of images and videos circulating on social media. Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances."

United are set to host Middlesbrough in the FA Cup on Friday, but it remains to be seen if Greenwood will be considered for selection.

And news of the allegations will be a huge concern to England boss Gareth Southgate, just 10 months before the start of the World Cup.

Greenwood has not been picked by Southgate since being sent home from Iceland in disgrace in September 2020, after he and Phil Foden broke Covid protocols by inviting two women back to the hotel in Reykjavik.

It emerged in the autumn that Greenwood had asked Southgate not to be considered for international selection until the next round of games in March.

Greenwood, 20, made his United debut in 2019 and gone on to score 35 goals in 129 appearances to establish himself as one of the brightest young talents in Europe.
