Manchester United academy graduate Mason Greenwood was today given bail by a judge after spending four nights behind bars.
Greenwood was released on bail after a private hearing at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester.
The Englishman was arrested over the weekend after violating the terms of his initial bail by attempting to contact the complainant.
The Mirror reports on this new development around Greenwood’s controversial case, saying: “after this morning’s private hearing another judge, John Potter, granted bail to Greenwood, who was not in court.
“He has been granted bail on the condition that he is not allowed to contact any witnesses, including the complainant.
“You must also reside in Bowdon, near Altrincham in Greater Manchester.”
In the first images that have been published, Greenwood is seen leaving HMP Berwyn in the company of his father and under heavy security.
The United player is due at Manchester Crown Court on November 21.
The 21-year-old will have the opportunity to defend himself against three serious accusations. The first is trying to rape a woman.
The second is engaging in controlling and coercive behavior between November 1, 2018 and October 15, 2022.
The last one is to assault a person and cause actual bodily harm between December 12 and 31, 2021.
At the moment, the player is still suspended by the Red Devils pending the outcome of the judicial process. While trying to clear his name, Greenwood continues to be paid his full salary, which is estimated to be in the range of £75,000 per week.
He last played for the 20-time English champions on January 22 against West Ham.
