Manchester United's forward, Greenwood, 20, was arrested following the circulation of distressing pictures and audio on social media, which alleged he attacked his 18-year-old girlfriend, Harriet Robson.
In a now-deleted post, Robson shared photos of injuries she had when the player allegedly forced himself on her.
She had some bruises on her thighs in some of the photos.
In one of the images, blood was seen flowing from her mouth to her chest. Robson also shared an audio message in which she accused Greenwood of being responsible for the wounds.
He was taken in by the Greater Manchester Police over allegations of rape and assault and the Greater Manchester Police released a statement saying a man was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault and was being held in custody for questioning after images and videos were posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
On Monday the police said detectives were granted "additional time to speak to a man in his 20s".
The issue has made Manchester United suspend the player till further notice as the club demonstrates its opposition to violence.
Greenwood is sponsored by sportswear giants Nike, and they also released a statement to The Athletic, which read: “We are deeply concerned by the disturbing allegations and will continue to closely monitor the situation.”
Since then, Nike has suspended their relationship with the player after his arrest.
The statement read: 'We have suspended our relationship with Mason Greenwood.
