MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault. The Crown Prosecution Service says it authorized Manchester police to charge the 21-year-old Greenwood. He is due to appear in court on Monday facing three counts relating to the same woman. Greenwood was first held in January over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online. He has been out on bail since. He has been suspended by United and not played for the club since January.
