Alleged assault: Ronaldo, De Gea, Pogba, Rashford unfollow Greenwood on Instagram

 

Manchester United’s most high-profile players, including David de Gea, Cristiano Ronaldo and Paul Pogba have shunned Mason Greenwood on Instagram after his arrest over allegations of rape and assault.

MuchTalksBlog had reported that Greenwood has been accused of attacking his 18-year-old girlfriend, Harriet Robson.

Harriet took to social media to upload a number of pictures, videos and voice notes to her Instagram story, including one of her lip badly bleeding and several bruises to her face, body and thighs.

According to Daily Mail, nine members of the Manchester United first team squad are keeping their distance from Greenwood.

Other Manchester United’s players not following the rising star includes; Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Fred and Jesse Lingard.

But club captain Harry Maguire and Bruno Fernandes are in a group of 18 squad members who have so far maintained their support for the young forward on the social media platform, Sportsmail can reveal.

The images appeared to show the woman bloodied and bruised and the audio included a voice recording of a conversation between a man and a woman, dated October last year, which purportedly chronicled the woman being attacked.

Greenwood, who earns £75,000-a-week, has been suspended by Manchester United until further notice.

Manchester United had put out a statement saying it was aware of them and they were making inquiries “to establish the full circumstances”.

The club added, “Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.”
