The 21-year-old was arrested in January after social media
images and videos were posted by a woman reporting incidents of
physical violence.
Greenwood was granted bail at Manchester Minshull Street Crown
Court following a private hearing, having been remanded in
custody after appearing at Manchester and Salford Magistrates'
Court on Monday.
The British Crown Prosecution Service on Saturday authorised
Greater Manchester Police to charge Greenwood with "attempted
rape, engaging in controlling and coercive behaviour, and
assault occasioning actual bodily harm".
Neither Greenwood nor his representatives have commented at any
stage on the allegations against him.
He remains suspended by his club, who released a statement later
on Saturday.
"Manchester United notes that criminal charges have been brought
against Mason Greenwood by the Crown Prosecution Service. He
remains suspended by the club, pending the outcome of the
judicial process," the statement read.
