One of the elite youth stars for Manchester United can kiss his career goodbye. Mason Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape. Unlike the National Hockey League, the English Premier League takes these accusations seriously.

Janet Potter, the Deputy Chief Crown Prosecutor, stated, “The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorized Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behavior, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West’s complex casework unit authorized the charges following a review of a file of evidence received from Greater Manchester Police.”

Greenwood was arrested in January after allegations were made in online posts.

Manchester United released a statement, “Manchester United notes that criminal charges have been brought against Mason Greenwood by the Crown Prosecution Service. He remains suspended by the club, pending the outcome of the judicial process.”
