United's 20-year-old striker Mason Greenwood was finally released on bail on Wednesday after being detained by police for three nights. But on charges of rape, sexual violence, death threats and injury, Aoki still faces further investigation and even prosecution.
Greenwood's arrest sparked an uproar, so after being released on bail, United stepped up security for his family by hiring two personal bodyguards to protect the tranquility of his villa, which he rented for £14,000 a month. On the day of his release, surveillance was also installed, and it is said that there are as many as 8 cameras outside the door to prevent anyone from approaching. This home security system is priced at £350.
The Greater Manchester Police Station announcement said: "The 20-year-old man arrested on Sunday on suspicion of rape and assault on a woman has been released on bail pending further investigation."
United officials have not issued a new announcement, and according to the previous statement, even if Greenwood has been released on bail, he is still in Manchester United's "indefinite suspension, suspension" state, and will not be able to travel to Carrington for training, let alone competition. Greenwood can only think behind closed doors, and fans hope he will learn his lesson and get back on the right track.
As we all know, the legal process is very cumbersome, the police investigation can be protracted, and the brawl case of Manchester United captain Maguire on holiday in Greece last summer has not yet ended. The case did not affect the England centre-back's representation of Manchester United, but it was because his actions were understandable, when his sister suffered an accident and acted excessively. As a result, Maguire received the solidarity of many at that time.
Greenwood's problems were clearly worse than Maguire's, and there was no excuse at all. Until the case is conclusive, Aoki may not have the opportunity to play for Manchester United again. Seriously, he may not be able to play for Manchester United again this season, and the club officially announced on Wednesday that all fans who have purchased Greenwood's No. 11 shirt can change the gowns of other players for free.
If Greenwood is arranged at this time, Manchester United will bring unnecessary attention and will face great pressure, so Aoki is undoubtedly the best choice, he is not an indispensable player of Lonnick's team, this season because the style is too unique, caused a lot of criticism, Sancho, Rashford, Anthony Erlanga and others, can take his place in the 433 formation.
After Greenwood regained his freedom, several of his teammates who had previously unfollowed him on social networking sites, such as Rashford, Lingard, Lindelof and Fred, refocused on him, but C Ronaldo, Pogba, De Gea, Cavani, Tres and Phil Jones remained in a position of clearance.
Southgate's England team also announced that Greenwood would be temporarily disqualified from the selection until any potential legal action in his case was completed. In fact, Greenwood has not been selected for the Three Lions since he was expelled from the team after England's debut against Iceland in September 2020, breaking team rules.
One of the reasons for not returning to England is said to have been for Greenwood telling Southgate that he would rather not be named in the squad if he can't play. This arrogant attitude, coupled with the current suspected case, the possibility of Manchester United winning the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar at the end of the year is also very slim.
