Manchester United ace Mason Greenwood has been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.
Police confirmed the 20-year-old striker remains in custody over the allegations.
Police were seen outside the star’s home amid news of his arrest, The Sun reports.
His Premier League club also announced he has been suspended indefinitely.
It confirmed the forward would not return to training or play matches “until further notice” as it “does not condone violence of any kind”.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester Police said: “Police were made aware earlier today (Sunday 30 January) of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
“An investigation was launched and following inquiries we can confirm a man in his 20s has since been arrested on suspicion of rape and assault.
“He remains in custody for questioning. Inquiries are ongoing.”
Greenwood joined Manchester United at the age of six and progressed through the academy ranks.
He joined the club in 2019, with 129 appearances for the team.
Greenwood also represented England several times as an under-17 and under-21 before being named in the England senior squad in August 2020.
