Manchester United forward faces attempted rape, coercive behavior, and assault charges.
Mason Greenwood, a Manchester United footballer, will be released from custody after a bail application was granted.
The 21-year-old forward is accused of rape, controlling and coercive behavior, and assault.
On Monday, he appeared in Manchester Magistrates’ Court and was remanded in custody.
On Wednesday, a bail application was heard in private at Manchester’s Minshull Street Crown Court.
Following the hearing, a spokesman for the court said bail had been granted, with conditions not to contact witnesses, including the complainant, and to reside at an address on Bow Green Road in Bowdon.
Greenwood did not appear for the short hearing. He is due to appear at court again on November 21st. All three charges relate to the same woman.
The player was first held in January over allegations relating to a young woman after images and videos were posted online.
He had been on bail since but was arrested in the Trafford area on Saturday for an alleged breach of conditions.
The controlling and coercive behavior occurred between November 2018 and October of this year, during which time he is accused of making threatening and derogatory comments to the complainant, as well as accessing and monitoring her social media accounts.
The charge of assault resulting in actual bodily harm was filed in December 2021.
The forward, who has made one appearance for England, was suspended from playing or training with the Old Trafford club within hours of the allegations surfacing online at the start of the year.
