Manchester United's Mason Greenwood has been pictured in a balaclava for the first time since he was arrested on suspicion of rape, assault, sexual assault and making threats to kill.

The 20-year-old forward was spotted driving his car in Altrincham, Greater Manchester with friends on Thursday. He remains on bail pending further investigation having been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault on January 30 and further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and making threats to kill two days later.

Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have confirmed that Greenwood's bail will expire on April 30, at which point it could be extended. The England international was suspended by United following his arrest and has not played for the club since a Premier League fixture against West Ham on January 22.

An EA Sports spokesman said: "Mason Greenwood has been removed from active squads in FIFA 22 and has also been suspended from appearing in FIFA Ultimate Team (FUT) packs and Ultimate Draft."
