Greater Manchester Police have been authorized to arrest the 21-year-old for allegedly breaching his bail conditions, Janet Potter, Deputy Chief Prosecutor for the Crown Prosecution Service North West, confirmed on Saturday.
According to the announcement, Greenwood’s case will be heard in Manchester Magistrates’ Court from Monday. The striker was arrested in January on suspicion of rape and assault after his girlfriend posted pictures and videos on Instagram. Since then he has been out on bail.
Greenwood is accused of contacting his alleged victim. Manchester United suspended Greenwood in January shortly after the allegations against him became public. Since then he has not been allowed to play or train with the English football champions.
Greenwood has scored five goals in 18 games for United in the Premier League this season and four times (one goal) in the Champions League.
