Manchester United footballer Mason Greenwood has had attempted rape and assault charges against him dropped.The Crown Prosecution Service said the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material coming to light were factors in its decision to stop the case against the 21-year-old.Greater Manchester Police said it was “only fair” that they announced that Greenwood would no longer face criminal proceedings given the intense interest in the case.The striker had faced one count of attempted rape, one count of controlling and coercive behaviour and one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, all against the same complainant.A CPS spokesperson said the withdrawal of key witnesses and the new material “meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction”.
