    He spent three nights being quizzed by police after he was re-arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
    But fans have been trying to shift their shirts after the allegations came to lights when his accuser posted a series of photos and audio on social media.
    Some United fans have been lighting their £65 shirts to destroy them, while others have even tried to scrape the name and numbers off.
    Footage shows one fan using an aerosol to burn the away shirt on a washing line, while others set fire to it on a bonfire.
    The videos come after the club confirmed that any fans wanting to exchange their shirts with Greenwood’s name on would be able to do so for free.
    A footy-man United fan forked out £135 on a full kit for his son, with Greenwood’s name on, and had contacted the club to ask for the change after buying it at the beginning of the season.

    United confirmed that fans could get a new shirt with no name on or a replacement one with another players name on in light of the allegations.
    Collectors who have shelled out a fortune for rare memorabilia are also trying to flog their goods on eBay.  
    Those with ultra-rare football cards have listed merchandise featuring the rape rap-haunted Manchester United star for up to £1,999.
    Many are the scarce Panini Chronicles cards that change hands for thousands of pounds.
    But of the dozens of listings, none had attracted bids as collectors wait to see if the police bring charges against the England striker.
    A Panini Chronicles card was number 14 from 25 from 2019 and had the player as a “rated rookie”. It was said to be in mint condition and offered for sale in a protective case.
    One trader was offering a boot signed by the player for £345, and an autographed shirt was up for sale for £499.
    Buyers are told: “A hand signed mounted Manchester United FC Football boot of Mason Greenwood. Frame size 50x40cm
    “Frame comes in a solid wood box frame. Item comes with a certificate of authenticity.”

    All his merchandise has been dropped from the official United site in the wake of the allegations.
    Greenwood was also removed from Manchester United’s squad on FIFA 22 following claims made against him.
    Greenwood’s alleged rape victim last night broke her silence and thanked everyone for their “support” after he was released on bail.
    The student, 18, revealed that the past week has been “difficult” for her and she will not be making any more statements pending the police investigation.
    Greenwood was released on bail pending further investigation on Wednesday, but the star has not been seen since.
    He appears to have toughened up security at his luxury mansion in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, after being released on bail.
    Two security guards were seen standing watch outside the home and an expert was also pictured arriving to install a £350 home security system.
    Greenwood was suspended indefinitely from the club hours after the allegations surfaced on social media.
    It comes as Greenwood’s teammates returned to training after the winter break minus the No11.
    Several of his teammates have also unfollowed the star on social media after the images came to light.
    The £75,000-a-week footballer was taken into custody on Sunday after police swooped on his home.
    Security staff, thought to have been provided by United, were present at a second home he owns nearby and they confirmed that his parents were inside.
    In a statement, Manchester United said: “Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind.
    “As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice.”
    A source confirmed Greenwood will still receive his wages while on suspension.
    But his sponsor Nike said they were “deeply concerned” and have suspended his deal.
    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”.

    He lives in a six-bed £14,000-a-month rented home in an upmarket area of Cheshire and as well as a state-of-the-art security system, he’s got a huge German Shepherd-type dog at the premises.
    The mutt rooms free in the grounds of the gated house during the day and has a kennel at the side of the red-brick home.
    This week a security firm that has the contract to guard the home fitted a range of new cameras at the property following the 20-year-old’s arrest.
    The Hikvision system can connect to eight different cameras using 4K resolution.
    And Greenwood – who is now on bail as cops probe allegations of violence, threats to kill and rape, has also got a dog as an extra line of defence.
    They cost between £10,000 and £25,000 depending on training and are often Belgian or German shepherds, Dobermans or giant Cane Corsos.

    Two UK firms – K9 Chaperone and Elite Protection Dogs – use pups from military or police backgrounds to supply stars.
    They are trained to change from docile family pet to vicious attack dog if an intruder is detected.
    London-based Elite Protection Dogs reveals: “All of our puppies come from military and police backgrounds with generations of experience in protecting borders, searching for missing persons and drugs, and sniffing for bombs in warzones.
    “With all respect to other breeds, we intend to use two breeds of canine only as our cadets. These are the Belgian Shepherds (Malinois) and the German Shepherds. 
    “The military and police all around the world tend to choose these breeds as their first choice, as do we. These dogs have the highest IQ in the protection dog category.”
    The firm added: “We produce two types of trained dogs- a guard dog and a personal protection dog.
    “Guard dogs are typically very independent and don’t need companionship as they are trained to guard a territory.
    “They are taught to refuse food from strangers and react to intruders. Guard dogs are mainly suited for farms and gated areas. Prices start from £10,000.
    “A personal protection dog is not only a family friendly pet but also a form of protection. They crave a family bond, affection and love and are very child friendly.
    “They are dedicated to shield you, by demand, from any possible danger or threat as taught through intense training, mental stability and obedience. Prices start from £15,000.”
    Premier League stars Hugo Lloris, Jesse Lingard, Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford, Raheem Sterling, Andy Carroll and Jamie Vardy all now have guard dogs, as does singer Stormzy.
    Greenwood was initially held on suspicion of rape and GBH but police confirmed on Tuesday he was also being quizzed for sexual assault and threats to kill.
    ‘DEEPLY CONCERNED’
    The £75,000-a-week footballer was taken into custody on Sunday after police swooped on his home.
    Security staff, thought to have been provided by Utd, were present at a second home he owns nearby and they confirmed that his parents were inside.
    In a statement, Man Utd said: “Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind.
    “As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice.”
    A source confirmed Greenwood will still receive his wages while on suspension.
    But his sponsor Nike said they were “deeply concerned” and have suspended his deal.
    All merchandise bearing the No11’s name has also been dropped from the official Utd site in the wake of the allegations and teammates have unfollowed him on Instagram.
    Fans wanting to exchange shirts bearing his name can now do so for free.
    Greenwood’s promising domestic and international career is now in jeopardy after his arrest.
    The rising star had impressed on the pitch this season – scoring five goals in the Premier League and one in the Champions League so far.
    He joined the team aged just six and rose through the ranks to land himself a regular spot on the first team.

    And now, police have been granted further time to speak to Greenwood after he was rearrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
    Greenwood was suspended indefinitely from Man Utd following his arrest.
    And in a statement last night, his club said: “Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind.

    A Greater Manchester Police spokesman confirmed the force were granted more time to quiz the £75,000-a-week footballer.
    He said: “Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.
    “The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
    “Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.

    Sponsor TeamViewer also announced that they are “closely monitoring developments”.
    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.
    Several of his teammates have also unfollowed the star on social media after the images came to light.
    The Premier League club initially said it did “not condone violence of any kind” and later suspended the 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 a woman’s Instagram on Sunday morning, but have since been deleted.

    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 have said there is “nothing they can do” as he purchased the kit more than 90 days previously.
    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.”

    Greenwood was suspended indefinitely from Utd hours after cops swooped on his home in Bowdon, Greater Manchester, on Sunday.
    And in a statement tonight, the club said: “Manchester United reiterates its strong condemnation of violence of any kind.
    “As previously communicated, Mason Greenwood will not train with, or play for, the club until further notice.”
    Security staff – thought to have been provided by his club – were present at a second home he owns nearby and they confirmed his parents were inside.
    Earlier today, Greenwood was removed from Manchester United’s squad on FIFA 22 after his arrest.
    Greenwood has also been removed from the Manchester United squad list on the game, after the club removed any merchandise with his name on from their website.

    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.
    Greater Manchester Police confirmed that detectives had been granted extra time to interview the suspect.
    A spokesman for GMP 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.”
