Mason Greenwood, a Manchester United footballer, was released on bail today, just days after being charged with attempted rape.
At the weekend, the 21-year-old forward was also charged with controlling and coercive behavior as well as assault.
On Monday, he appeared in Manchester Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody.
Today, a bail hearing was held in private at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court.
Following the hearing, a court spokesman stated that bail had been granted, with the conditions of not contacting witnesses, including the complainant, and residing at a specific address.
Greenwood, who did not appear in court for the brief hearing, is scheduled to appear again on November 21.
The three charges all pertain to the same woman.
The player was arrested for the first time in January on allegations involving a young woman after images and videos were posted online.
He had been out on bail since then, but was arrested on Saturday for allegedly violating his conditions.
