In the aftermath of Mason Greenwood’s arrest over allegations of rape and assault, Manchester United stars have unfollowed the forward on Instagram.
Paul Pogba, David de Gea, Marcus Rashford, Edinson Cavani, Fred and Jesse Lingard have also shunned the 20-year-old on the popular social networking platform.
Greenwood’s ex-girlfriend, Harriet Robson (@hasrobson), called out the player publicly for domestic abuse and sexual assault on Sunday. Containing graphic imagery and audio clips, Robson’s posts shed light on the abuse the 18-year-old woman had faced.
Greenwood’s boyhood club, Manchester United, refrained from making comments. They have suspended the player until further notice for now but will take harsher steps if the allegations are proven beyond doubt.
The player has since been taken into custody by Greater Manchester Police and is currently being interrogated. Following his arrest, many of the prominent Manchester United stars have started to distance themselves from the alleged abuser.
A total of nine first-team stars, including Ronaldo, Pogba and De Gea, are currently not following the forward’s Instagram account despite following their other teammates, Captain Harry Maguire, star midfielder Bruno Fernandes, World Cup winner Raphael Varane, and 15 other United stars still following Greenwood on Instagram.
