Nike suspends relationship with Greenwood amid assault allegations

Nike have suspended their relationship with Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, the sportswear giant said on Monday after accusations surfaced online that the 20-year-old forward had assaulted a woman, according to Reuters.

United said on Sunday they were “aware of images and allegations circulating on social media” and later confirmed Greenwood would not return to training or play for the Old Trafford club until further notice.

“We have suspended our relationship with Mason Greenwood. We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation,” a Nike spokesperson told Reuters.

The allegations against Greenwood, including video, photographs and a voice note, were posted on Instagram on Sunday and later deleted.
