Breaking news: Imagine what Greenwood did to this boys after he got out of jail , After threatening to kill , the boys mother explains in detail .
A FURIOUS Manchester United fan
has slammed the club after they refused
to remove Mason Greenwood's name
from the back of his son's shirt.
Westley Reilly, a lifelong Red Devils
fan, wanted to change the name on
the back of his son Finnley's shirt
after getting a Greenwood top at the
start of this season.
Striker Greenwood, 20, has spent two
nights in a police cell after cops swooped
over the rape and GBH claims on
Sunday morning.
He was then further arrested today
on suspicion of sexual assault and threats
to kill as cops were granted more time
to quiz him.
Westley, 41, from Chadderton, Oldham
, forked out £135 for a full kit for
the Man Utd-mad youngster at the
beginning of the season.
But after the allegations against the
star striker came to light, the dad contacted
the club to see if he could get the
name changed or removed.
He claims that the club initially said
there is “nothing they can do” as
he purchased the kit more than
90 days previously.
But a spokesman for the club has
now confirmed that they will be
exchanging fans Greenwood shirts
for free.
Speaking to The Sun he said: “I'm
not asking them for a refund or anything
like that, I wouldn't expect them to do that.
"But given everything that has happened
I do think they should let fans change
the names without charge.
“We have spoken to Finnley and he
doesn't want his name on his shirt
anymore.
“There are people who aren't in a position
to be able to buy another shirt,
or a whole kit because of the expense.
“It's only from the beginning of the
season, not before, so I don't see
how the 90 days should matter really.
“I have complained to the club, but
I haven't heard anything back yet.
They should change it for anyone
who wants them.
“Fans, and lifelong fans too, have
bought kits for years. A simple change
of a name should be allowed in
this instance in these circumstances.
“I have contacted them, and they've
got back to me to say that they'll
be in touch soon.
“They've said they're monitoring
the situation, but you'd think that
the club could do something.”
It is understood that the club is
considering exchanging shirts for
those with Greenwood on the back,
but are unable to change the name
on an existing top.
Angry fans turned up at the club's
megastore at Old Trafford following
Greenwood's initial arrest demanding
refunds for kit featuring the striker's
name and number 11.
United has taken down all Greenwood
merch from their website – with
any search for his name drawing a blank.
The club's official partner Cadbury
said Greenwood won't appear on
any of their marketing products.
Sponsor TeamViewer also announced
that they are "closely monitoring
developments".
'DISTURBING ALLEGATIONS'
Sportswear giant Nike, which provides
the striker's boots, have suspended
their sponsorship with the star.
The brand said in a statement: "
We have suspended our relationship
with Mason Greenwood.
"We are deeply concerned by the
disturbing allegations and will continue
to closely monitor the situation."
Greenwood has worn Nike boots
since breaking into United's first team
in 2019.
He has been suspended indefinitely
by his club after being arrested
on suspicion of rape and GBH
following a series of allegations
posted online.
Crime scene investigators from
Greater Manchester Police were
seen parked outside the footballer's
house in Bowdon, Greater Manchester,
on Sunday afternoon.
The Premier League club initially
said it did “not condone violence
of any kind" and later suspended
the £75,000-a-week star as a police
probe was launched.
A spokesman for the club said: “
Mason Greenwood will not return to
training or play matches until further
notice.”
The images and allegations were
reportedly visible on the woman's
Instagram on Sunday morning, but
have since been deleted.
A spokesman for Greater Manchester
Police said: "Police were made
aware of online social media images
and videos posted by a woman
reporting incidents of physical violence.
"An investigation was launched
and following enquiries we can confirm
a man in his 20s has since been
arrested on suspicion of rape
and assault.
"He remains in custody for questioning
. Enquiries are ongoing."
