Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood released on bail after hearing

Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, charged with attempted rape, assault and “repeatedly engaging” in controlling and coercive behavior, was released on bail after a private hearing Wednesday.

The 21-year-old, accused of incidents that occurred in October 2021, had been out on bail since January but was arrested Saturday in Trafford for allegedly breaching the conditions of his release. Flanked by two officers in court Monday, Greenwood spoke only to confirm his name, birth date and address. After the proceedings, District Judge Mark Hadfield made the decision to keep Greenwood in custody at least until his next appearance, Nov. 21 in Manchester Crown Court, but he was ultimately released Wednesday.
