MANCHESTER United have suspended Mason Greenwood after he was accused of domestic violence.
The 20-year-old striker will not return to training or matches until further notice following a series of graphic images posted by his girlfriend on social media.
Harriet Robson shared a video and photos showing her bloodied face and bruised body as she made the allegations against the footballer this morning.
And now the forward is set to sit out of action for the foreseeable future.
The Premier League club confirmed he will not take part in training or be part of the squad on matchday’s for an indefinite length of time.
Harriet first shared a photo of herself with blood streaming down her chin, neck and chest from what appeared to be a gash on her lip.
She captioned the short video: “To everyone who wants to know what Mason Greenwood actually does to me.”
She then shared five pictures showing dark bruises on her arms and legs, as well as a bloodshot red eye.
Harriet, who has 213,000 followers, later posted a series of voice notes from October 2021 which seemed to further demonstrate Greenwood’s alleged violence.
Man Utd said it was aware of the images, which have since been deleted, and confirmed Greenwood is suspended until further notice.
A spokesperson for the club added: “We are aware of images and allegations circulating on social media.
“We will not make any further comment until the facts have been established.
“Manchester United does not condone violence of any kind.”
Greater Manchester Police confirmed officers were investigating the claims.
A spokesperson for the force added: “Greater Manchester Police is aware of images and videos circulating on social media.
“Enquiries are ongoing to establish the full circumstances.”
Two cops were this afternoon photographed visiting Harriet’s home to take a statement.
Her dad Alan has since said Harriet is “completely devastated” after going public with her claims, and he too is gutted as Greenwood “has been part of our family for two or three years”.
‘HE WAS PART OF OUR FAMILY’
He told MailOnline: “It is dreadful. I’m just coming to terms with it all.
“As a father you don’t want to know things like that happening to your daughter. The police have been round and she has made a statement to them.
“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.
“She is devastated because she didn’t want it released. We have known him since the under 21s. He has been part of our family for two or three years.”
Charity Women’s Aid issued a statement in response to the claims which read: “Distressing posts being circulated on social media today #MasonGreenwood.
“It is essential that all employers, including those in football, take domestic abuse very seriously and we hope Man Utd do in this case.
“Solidarity with Harriet Robson. #FootballUnitedAgainstDomesticViolence.”
