After the arrest of Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood, police applied for an extension of his detention to allow for an in-depth investigation. The 20-year-old in England was formally arrested on Sunday afternoon, questioned that night until late at night, and has spent two nights in his cell so far.
Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were given extra time to interrogate Greenwood and that the homes of Aoki and his parents were searched.
Manchester United announced an indefinite suspension and would not be allowed to attend daily training even if his detention period ended. Meanwhile, The Manchester United club did not provide any legal advice to Greenwood and the players needed to hire their own lawyers.
Manchester United team-mates Ronaldo, De Gea, Pogba, Rashford, Jesse Lingard and Cavani have all removed their attention from Greenwood on social networking sites. Captain Maguire, Bruno Fernandez and other 18 other teammates still maintain a relationship with Aoki on social networking sites.
Not only that, sponsor Nike also announced the suspension of the contract with Greenwood, once the manchester United little king's crime is confirmed, he will definitely be terminated, or even claimed, doomed to suffer heavy losses.
In addition to Nike, Manchester United has also removed all of Greenwood's merchandise from the official store, and no information on Aoki's No. 11 shirt has been searched through the Red Devils official website. The club's official sponsors, TeamViewer and Cadbury, said they were closely following the developments and that Greenwood would not participate in the relevant advertising campaigns.
Some United fans even went to the official store in Old Trafford to demand a refund for the Greenwood 11 shirt they had purchased.
However, despite Greenwood's arrest, United still need to honour his contract and pay him £80,000 a week because he has not yet been convicted. Sources told The Sun that he would continue to enjoy a high salary until Greenwood was convicted.
In fact, another Premier League club in Manchester is facing similar embarrassment, with City requiring a salary to be paid for suspended player Benjamin Mendy.
It is worth mentioning that a piece of mourinho's comment on football players is rumored to be mourinho, which was also widely circulated on social networking sites at this time. "Study hard, be a doctor, an engineer or a teacher, they are the people the world needs." Don't worship any football stars, some of them are pure rubbish."
