England and Manchester United 

striker Mason Greenwood is currently

 out on bail, but remains under ongoing

 police investigation, based on charges

 related to the “rape and assault

 of a young woman” and “

suspicion ofsexual assault and threats

 to kill”.

The dramatic story broke across 

the globe when one-time girlfriend 

Harriet Robson was seen to have 

shared a post on Instagram at the 

end of January, which revealed bruises

 and cuts on her body with a caption

 stating: “To everyone who wants

 to know what Mason Greenwood 

actually does to me”. The series 

of disturbing images clearly indicate

 a case of domestic abuse, while 

an audio clip seemingly implicates

 Greenwood in abusive and threatening

 behaviour.

Below is how the case 

against Greenwood has 

unfolded:

30 January: Pictures, an audio clip

 and a video appear on social media

 showing Robson bruised and bloodied

. The images are later deleted from 

her account, but spread like wildfire

 across social media.

30 January: Soon after the incident 

came to light, Manchester United release

 a statement to say “we are aware 

of images and allegations circulating

 on social media”. Later on 

that Sunday, United confirm 

Greenwood

 has been suspended indefinitely:

 “Mason Greenwood will not return

 to training or play matches until 

further notice.”

30 January: According to overseas 

website Joe.co.uk, Robson’s father 

subsequently releases a statement 

revealing that Robson’s phone was 

‘hacked’ and that she didn’t want the

 pictures to be released. “She has

 told us her phone has been hacked

. We told her to take it down, which 

she has done but it’s out there now 

so it is too late,” Robson’s father 

was quoted as saying by Joe.co.uk. “

She is devastated because she didn’t

 want it released. We have known 

him (Greenwood) since the under 

21s. He has been part of our family

 for two or three years. Their relationship

 has not been good for the last few 

months. She is completely devastated

 by it all.” 

30 January: News emerges that Greenwood

 has been arrested on “suspicion of rape

 and assault”, with the Greater 

Manchester Police (GMP) stating

 they had been granted more time

 to question him.

31 January: Further charges are 

levelled against Greenwood based 

“on suspicion of sexual assault and

 threats to kill”.

1 February: United release a new 

statement following developments, 

saying: “Manchester United reiterates

 its strong condemnation of violence

 of any kind. As previously communicated

, Mason Greenwood will not train 

with, or play for, the club until 

further notice.”

2 February: The 20-year-old is released

 on bail while a police investigation

 continues.

3 February: Manchester United 

allow supporters who have purchased

 shirts with Greenwood’s name printed

 on them to change them for another

 shirt and name of their choice.

4 February: Harriet Robson expresses

 gratitude for support after Greenwood

 arrest in her first public comment 

since the story came to light. “The 

last few days have been very difficult

 and I’m taking a break from social

 media while the police make their 

investigations,” she writes.

7 February: Nike confirms that it 

has terminated its endorsement agreement

 with the England and Manchester 

United striker.

8 February: Reports suggest that 

the Man United changeroom has been 

divided over the manner in which the

 Greenwood case has been handled

 by the club, while players including 

Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo

 and Victor Lindelof are said to have

 cut off the 20-year-old from social

 media.

11 February: It’s reported that Greenwood

 will receive no compensation after 

being dropped from his Nike sponsorship

 deal, but will continue to be paid his 

£75,000-a-week salary from United

 pending the outcome of any criminal

 proceedings.

02 April: Greenwood is spotted in 

Cheshire for the first time since 

his arrest on suspicion of rape and 

assault. Greenwood covered his face

 in a black balaclava while driving 

a flashy Mercedes-Benz CLA.

09 April: Manchester United reassert

 that the young striker remains indefinitely

 suspended as a ‘legal process unfolds

’. “His profile was never removed 

from the website as he remains a 

Manchester United player, albeit not 

currently part of the squad while the

 legal process unfolds,” a statement

 read.

11 April: A video emerged showing

 Greenwood being hassled and heckled

 by an onlooker. A man could be seen 

shouting comments at Greenwood, 

who is is clearly exasperated by the 

interaction, and seemingly swipes

 his hand for the man to leave 

him alone.

29 April: It is finally confirmed that

 police have applied to the courts to 

extend his bail, which was set to 

expire at the end of April. Greater Manchester

 Police said: “We are continuing to investigate

 a report made to us on Sunday 30 

January of online social media images

 and videos posted by a woman 

reporting incidents of physical violence

. A 20-year-old man arrested that 

day  on suspicion of the rape and 

assault of a woman, and threats to 

kill, remains on bail. An application

 has been made to the courts to have

 his bail extended beyond Saturday

 30 April, but the hearing isn’t expected

 to be until mid-June. The suspect 

will remain on conditional bail until

 the date of the court hearing.”

6 May: Manchester United’s interim

 boss Ralf Rangnick refers to the 

ongoing police investigation surrounding

 Mason Greenwood as a “human 

disaster”. “The issue around Mason 

was a disaster for everybody… It’s not

 good for himself, obviously, and for

 his family it hasn’t been good but 

it also hasn’t been good for our 

club. He was regularly playing 

at the time.”

20 May: It now remains to be seen 

what the outcome will be after the

 key hearing in mid-June.
