Nike has suspended its relationship with Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood after allegations of domestic violence emerged against the 20-year-old England player.
A spokesperson for the club told CNN on Sunday that the club was aware of “images and allegations circulating on social media” regarding the footballer, adding it would “not make any further comment until the facts have been established.”
“Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind,” the statement added.
In a statement sent to CNN on Sunday, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said “a man in his 20s has been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault,” adding that the suspect “remained in custody for questioning” and that “enquiries were ongoing.”
A statement sent to CNN earlier on Sunday read that “enquiries were ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
Police also said it would not confirm any names of victims or potential offenders.
This comes after a series of photos and audio recordings allegedly posted online by Greenwood’s girlfriend, social media influencer Harriet Robson.
CNN has not independently verified the authenticity of the images or recordings.
Greenwood has not yet responded to the allegations. CNN is attempting to contact Greenwood for comment and will update when we receive a response.
