Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood has been charged with attempted rape, controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault, British prosecutors have said.
The 21-year-old is due to appear in court on Monday facing three counts relating 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 then, but was arrested on Saturday for an alleged breach of conditions.
The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) said it had authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Greenwood.
“The Crown Prosecution Service has today authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Mason Greenwood, 21, with attempted rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and assault occasioning actual bodily harm,” Janet Potter, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS North West, said.
“All three counts relate to the same complainant. Specialist rape prosecutors from CPS North West’s complex casework unit authorised
the charges following a review of a file of evidence received from Greater Manchester Police,” Potter said.
Greenwood will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on Monday, police said.
Neither Greenwood nor his representatives have commented at any stage on the allegations against him.
