“Greater Manchester Police was made aware earlier today (Sunday 30 January) of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence,” the force said in a statement.

“An investigation was launched, and following enquiries, we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. He remains in custody for questioning. Enquiries are ongoing,” it added.

Greenwood joined the team’s academy at the age of six and rose through the ranks, making his first appearance in 2019, where he became the youngest goal scorer in a European competition at the age of 17.

The striker also represented the under-17 and under-21 England national squad before being chosen for the senior team in 2020.
