Nike has suspended the four-year sponsorship contract it had signed a year ago with Mason Greenwood, the 20-year-old Manchester United striker who was arrested last Sunday on suspicion of raping a woman, based on videos posted on social media. The local police is also suspecting that he was threatening to kill the victim, according to Sky Sports, keeping him under custody, but he was subsequently released, pending further investigations. Nike made a statement expressing concern about the disturbing allegations, pledging to monitor the situation. Greenwood has also had his image removed from the FIFA 22 football video game developed by EA Sports.
