Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood will not train or play for the Premier League club until further notice, the team has said after the 20-year-old was accused of assaulting a woman.

The allegations, including video, photographs and a voice note, were posted on Instagram on Sunday morning and later deleted.

"Mason Greenwood will not return to training or play matches until further notice," United said in a statement to Reuters.

The club earlier said that they "do not condone violence of any kind".

Greenwood has six goals and two assists in 24 matches in all competitions for United this season. He began his career at United's academy and has played once for the England national team.
