Manchester United

Multiple news outlets have run the story so not sure why some in particular havent. Victoria Derbyshire of the BBC has tweeted and Henry Winter of the Times.

There may be a multitude of reasons why they haven't - some relatively straight forward and explaiable whereas others, potentially, may be more concerning.

The latter is more unlikely. While the police may 'aware' of the allegations, we're unsure if he's been questioned yet let alone arrested.

Although he's been publicly named on social media, perhaps some organisations are waiting for the official line before naming him, if that makes sense.

Oh fully agree but if he's found innocent by some means or charges are dropped then he will be back as he's worth a lot of money. Even if Utd let him go another club will snap him up as we seen with Ched Evans

Hope someone kneecaps the little rat and his career is over.

Indeed, and as we’ve found once it looks like someone might be charged papers shouldn’t interfere in an ongoing investigation for fear of sabotaging it.

We have all gone very quiet on our own “suspect” haven’t we.

how come you’re on an Everton forum reading a Man Utd thread when you support Liverpool mate?

The absolute state of your post history ye horrible Tory rat lol

Going to be a lot of people who this news story brings up bad memories or who are currently in similar situations.
Help is available and hopefully this story will enable more to access it.

Cool heads needed here, let the police investigate this fully and establish all the facts.

Admittedly though it looks catastrophic for his career, very real chance he never plays again.

He is very young so I think he will play again, but not for Man Utd. International career is over. It will be too hard for him in England. Elsewhere, it is more forgiving.

He has too much talent to fall away, but he may have to take some steps down to come back, I think,

Lets hope the publicity this has gotten because of who he is encourages more women to come forward or contact the helplines.

Talking hypothetically, if a twenty-year old was charged with rape then they're going to wait a few months until trial. If found guilty, they're looking at a custodial.

If it falls into a category two offence with elements of culpability (read the sentencing guide for more context), they're looking at the higher end of five to ten.

If he's convicted of rape, he should never be seen on a professional pitch again for moral reasons, but more likely he may not see a pitch until his late twenties.

This sort of situation, awful as it is, can also be helpful in changing societal attitudes as well which would help making it easier for people to feel comfortable sharing with friends/family to get support for leaving the relationship.

For instance been reading the Redcafe thread and a mod has posted this

Temp bans going out to those victim blaming in here and permanent bans if you’re a newbie. This is not something you should struggle to be on the right side of.

Exactly Legs.

If people even try to propose that she's in some way to blame, they're dangerous. I've seen some even saying it's not rape if they're in a relationship

Rape is rape - end of.
