      He was absent from the FIFA series since being removed from active squads and was suspended from appearing in Ultimate Team packs and Ultimate Draft in last year’s edition.
      It is reported that he will continue to be excluded, but the video game’s publisher EA Sports declined to comment on the situation.
      Greenwood had all charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control against him dropped yesterday.
      Greenwood said he was “relieved” yesterday after all criminal charges against him — including attempted rape — were dropped by prosecutors.
      The Man United star was informed that the Crown Prosecution Service had also withdrawn charges of actual bodily harm and coercive or controlling behaviour.
      The move came after 12 witnesses — including the woman at the centre of the allegations — refused to co-operate.
      Striker Greenwood, 21, said: “I am relieved that this matter is over and I would like to thank my family, loved ones and friends for their support.”
      But United bosses announced the club is now conducting its own probe into his behaviour surrounding the claims — which surfaced online in January 2022.

      Greenwood — who the club suspended following his arrest — will be unable to train or play for the Red Devils for the duration of the season.
      A spokesman said: “The club will now conduct its own process before determining next steps.
      “We will not make any further comment until that process is complete.”
      Last night dozens of United fans urged the club to get rid of Greenwood — who is on a £75,000-a-week contract. 
      Others said they should stick by him as he had not been convicted of any crime.
      He was arrested in January 2022 after harrowing images were posted on social media, along with video and audio footage, suggesting he had been physically abusive towards a woman.
      He was charged last October and had been due to stand trial this November.
      The charges came despite the alleged victim telling cops in April 2022 she no longer wanted him prosecuted and would not give evidence  in court.

      Police continued the case as they regarded her as a “vulnerable victim”.
      Last Friday The Sun told the CPS that we understood it was struggling to build a case.
      It confirmed our information at 2pm yesterday, when the end of proceedings was announced.
      A CPS spokesman said: “A combination of the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light meant there was no longer a realistic prospect of conviction.
      “We have explained our decision to all parties.
      “We would always encourage any potential victims to come forward and report to police and we will prosecute wherever our legal test is met.”

      Jack Grealish not impressed with his new Fifa 23 face as Man City star jokes he looks like Toy Story character

      by

      JACK GREALISH is not happy with his new face on FIFA 23 – and joked he looks like a character from Toy Story. Social media was in hysterics this week when the latest version of the video game was released.
      Jack Grealish was not impressed by his player likeness on FIFA 23
      He compared himself to Sid from Toy Story with the questionable likeness
      That is because Grealish was “done dirty” by EA Sports’ graphics team whose depiction of the Manchester City man bared very little resemblance to him.
      And now the £100million star has had his say with a hilarious brutal swipe at himself.
      Commenting on a picture of his FIFA 23 player, the England ace said: “Nah cmon man @easportsfifa.
      “Look like that geeza out of Toy Story!!!!”

      Grealish, 27, was referencing Sid – Andy’s evil neighbour – who has a huge head with a large forehead in Pixar’s iconic animated movie.
      The playmaker, who has started the season with one goal in six matches heading into the Manchester derby, has kept his 84 rating on the newly-released game.
      Fans piled in with their hilarious responses to Grealish’s quip.
      One said: “Someone at EA is a Villa fan.”

      A third added: “Jack Grealish looks 40 years old in FIFA 23. Hopefully EA fixes him lol.”
      And a final user commented: “FIFA 23 has done Jack Grealish dirty.”

      ‘They’ve done him dirty’ – Fans are all saying the same thing as pic of Jack Grealish’s FIFA 23 character emerges

      by

      FOOTBALL fans have mocked how Jack Grealish looks on FIFA 23, with social media claiming he has been harshly depicted on the game.The Manchester City and England international, 27, kept his same 84 rating he was given last year for the new edition of EA’s game – which came out earlier this week.

      That was despite a poor first season at Man City in which he managed just six goals and four assisting in 39 appearances.
      However, that is where EA’s generosity ends when it comes to Grealish.
      The former Aston Villa man’s character on the game has been criticised by fans as it looks almost nothing like him.
      And when a picture of it was posted on Twitter, fans could not help but jokingly slam it.

      Grealish once again made a slow start to this season, failing to score or assist in any of his opening five appearances.
      But before the international break, he did finally get off the mark by hitting the back of the net after just 55 seconds in a 3-0 win over Wolves.
      The England man will now be hoping to carry that momentum into the Manchester derby on Sunday. More

      ‘Club is shambles’ – Chelsea fans fume as third kit is leaked on FIFA 23 before being officially announced

      CHELSEA fans are fuming after their third kit appeared to be leaked on FIFA 23 before being officially unveiled. Despite being well into the season, the Blues have still not released their new third strip.

      Eager fans keen to see the kit now seem to have got a sneak peak thanks to one popular video game.
      Ahead of FIFA 23’s traditional end of September release date, a few images of the game were leaked.
      But in-game snaps of Chelsea have revealed their eye-catching gold kit, which has yet to be officially revealed.
      The pictures showed an animated Kai Havertz and N’Golo Kante donning the alternate third kit.

      The shirt and shorts are gold but also features a black and orange sleeve trim, black logos and white socks with a black-orange-black hoop.
      Annoyed Chelsea fans took to social media as a club kit appeared to be leaked for the second time in recent years.
      One said: “No wonder it’s nearly October and still haven’t released the third kit. Club is a shambles.”
      Another added: “We’re so unserious.”

      A Blues fan also said: “We’ve come to a point where the club can’t be a***d to do the bare minimum.”
      Some fans seemed to like the strip based on design, but one added that it was “just bizarre it’s not even been announced yet.”
      FIFA 23 is set to be the final FIFA game after EA Sports ended their partnership with the footballing governing body earlier this year.
      Last year Chelsea’s home and away kits were also leaked online ahead of time.
      The blue home shirt with a white collar and all white away strip both split opinion among fans at the time.
      Chelsea fans can look forward to finally seeing their gold kit in real life in the coming weeks.
      The London club has six away trips in all competitions in October alone, with kit clashes for their games at Crystal Palace and Brighton guaranteed.
      The match at Selhurst Park this weekend is set to be Graham Potter’s first in the Premier League as Blues boss. More

      Watch FIFA 23 stadium chant ‘SIUUU’ as Cristiano Ronaldo performs trademark celebration for Man Utd

      by

      FANS of video game FIFA 23 have been sinking their teeth into the game after its release yesterday, and one feature in particular is catching gamers’ eyes – or rather ears.The latest edition of EA Sport’s popular game enables players to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the crowd when they score with Cristiano Ronaldo.

      FIFA 23 has captured Ronaldo’s signature “Siuuu” celebration both visually and audially.
      A video of the feature has been doing the rounds on social media.
      It shows the Manchester United forward stepping up to take a penalty in the game.
      He then scores it and wheels off in celebration to do the signature ‘Siuuu’.

      But an extra added detail is the noise of the crowd celebrating with him.
      This feature echoes real life when United fans – and even Scott McTominay – celebrated Ronaldo’s first goal of the season with an audible ‘Siuuu’ alongside the legendary attacker.
      Ronaldo’s signature celebration originated in a friendly game against Chelsea while playing for Real Madrid in 2013.
      The 37-year-old revealed: “Well, I was in the US and we played against Chelsea and I don’t know where it came from. I just scored and I went, ‘Siuuu!’

      “But it was natural, to be honest.
      “After that, I started doing it and I feel like the fans, when they see me they’re like ‘Siuuu’ and I was like, ‘wow, people remember Cristiano because of the Siuuu,’ so I continued like that.”
      Ronaldo was knocked out of the running to win the Uefa Nations League with Portugal last night after Alvaro Morata’s late finish condemned Portugal to defeat against neighbours Spain.
      Before the game he also got an unfortunate black eye following a horror collision against the Czech Republic.

      FIFA 23 comes out on Tuesday but Sancho got early accessCredit: Instagram
      Sancho, 22, was a surprise omission after scoring three goals in his last six matches for United.
      But as his pals drew 3-3 with Germany in the Nations League at Wembley – the Three Lions’ last game before the World Cup – Sancho appeared to have his attention elsewhere.
      The 23-cap star, who last featured for his country in October 2021, posted on his Instagram story around the same time as kick-off.
      The photo simply showed a TV with the loading screen for the new FIFA 23 game – which is officially released tomorrow.

      And plenty of eagle-eyed supporters were quick to laugh at Sancho’s choice of Monday evening entertainment.
      One said: “Mad that Sancho is sat at home playing Fifa 23 when he should be starting v Germany.”
      Another wrote: “Sancho playing FIFA 23 instead of watching Southgate’s football.”
      And a third commented: “Sancho would rather play FIFA than watch England play lmao.”

      Sancho didn’t miss much by opting against watching England’s first half.
      But surely he switched over to catch a thrilling second half.
      Club team-mate Harry Maguire clumsily give away a penalty, allowing rival Ilkay Gundogan to slot home the opener before Kai Havertz’s belter.
      However, England ended their long wait for a goal from open play as fellow Red Devil Luke Shaw bundled in then Mason Mount fired home.
      Even if Sancho did want to tune in in time for Harry Kane’s penalty and Havertz’s late equaliser, though, he might have faced trouble.
      That is because Channel 4’s online streaming platform and app crashed, leaving thousands of supporters unable to watch their team in action. More
