My thoughts go out to the victim at this time. Absolutely awful news

  1. >It is not the first time the Premier League has been at the centre of a police investigation over an alleged rape.
    Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood, 22, was charged with attempted rape, assault and coercive behaviour in October 2022.
    The case against him was subsequently dropped in February 2023 after key witnesses withdrew. Greenwood denied all the allegations against him. After an internal club investigation, the decision was taken to send Greenwood out on loan to Spanish club Getafe.
    The expectation at the time was that Greenwood would never play for United again, but new part-owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe opened the door for a potential return.
    Reports in late February suggested Greenwood has ‘no great desire’ to play for United again and is ‘reluctant’ to return to Old Trafford. It was said Greenwood feels the club ‘could have supported him better’ over his case.

    Although i expect nothing less, it’s shameless from the Daily Mail to add all of this in to the article to drive up clicks and engagement. Please don’t misunderstand me and think I’m annoyed that Greenwood is being mentioned in a bad light, because fuck that guy, but because of their motives for mentioning his and Uniteds names.

  2. Garnacho and Mainoo are both 19 and they’re good mates….

  3. Rumours are that Marc Cucurella is the alleged victim.

    But in all seriousness, if it’s true, it’s so sad for the person on the receiving end of this crime.

  4. I’m happy they haven’t released the names. Keep everyone’s names out of it until we know if they are guilty or not. For both the alleged victim and the players, it’s not fair for whichever party has been wronged.

  5. If they are United players then r/soccercirclejerk will have a field day with this

  6. Disgusting regardless of which PL club they play for.

    The jokes in these comments are in bad taste too.

  7. Why would the police release their age? What purpose does that serve only to generate speculation and narrow down the possibilities and bring innocent 19yr olds under the microscope. It also risks leading to the identification of the alleged victim.

  8. Alright, home clubs this past weekend were:

    Luton
    Sheffield United
    Wolves
    Everton
    Villa
    Palace
    Fulham

    At least that narrows it down a bit
