Social media users have circulated posts claiming the English Football Association has announced that Mason Greenwood has been relieved from all charges against him.
Misbar’s Analysis
Misbar has investigated the claim and found it to be fake. Mason Greenwood is still “suspended from playing or training by United following the forward's arrest in January by police in connection with the alleged rape and assault of a young woman,” according to Manchester United.
Our team has run a Google Advanced Search using the following keywords: “Mason Greenwood,” “relieved,” and “Football Association,” but the process did not reveal any reporting mentioning the football star was relieved. The Football Association and Manchester United also did not say anything related to the claim.
Moreover, Greenwood’s team has confirmed to Mirror Football that the investigation is ongoing with “the Manchester United striker still suspended.”
Mason Greenwood Released on Bail
Mason Greenwood, the 20-year-old Manchester United football player, was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill after videos and pictures circulated online. The posts have been deleted from social media, but the young footballer “remains the subject of an ongoing police investigation.”
Greenwood was released on bail. However, he was suspended from playing or training with the team until further notice. Also, the footballer has been removed from the popular football video game FIFA 22 by producers EA Sport and Cadbury. The producers said they would not use Greenwood as part of their marketing campaigns during the ongoing investigation.
