RED CARD: Man Utd drop all Mason Greenwood merchandise from website after rape and arrest

Mancheater United have suspended the striker, 20, indefinitely after police swooped on his home in Greater Manchester yesterday.

They have now removed all Greenwood merchandise from their official website.

The star previously featured in a drop down of player’s names for shirts but the forward was absent today.

All record of the No11 appears to have been entirely wiped – with a message reading: “Sorry, your search for mason greenwood did not match any products.”

It comes after Greenwood’s Utd teammates unfollowed him on Instagram after his arrest.

Cristiano Ronaldo, Jesse Lingard, David De Gea, Paul Pogba, Ederson Cavani and Scott McTominay have all hit unfollow.

Greenwood spent last night in custody after the allegations were made on social media.

Utd initially said it did “not condone violence of any kind,” but later suspended him after cops launched a probe.

A second statement confirmed: “Mason Greenwood will not return to training or play matches until further notice.”

A source confirmed the star will still receive his £75,000-a-week wages while on suspension.

Greenwood’s promising domestic and international career is now in jeopardy after his arrest.

The rising star has impressed on the pitch this season – scoring five goals in the Premier League and one in the Champions League so far.

He joined the team aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.

In 2019, he became the youngest footballer to play for Utd in the Champions League when he took the pitch aged 17.

Greenwood has made 129 appearances in total for the Red Devils and netted 35 goals.

In 2020, England manager Gareth Southgate gave the 20-year-old his first cap when Greenwood came off the bench in a 1-0 win against Iceland.

A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police were made aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.

“An investigation was launched and following enquiries we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.

“He remains in custody for questioning. Enquiries are ongoing.”
