The footballer was arrested for violating bail conditions.

In January, the 21-year-old was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault. He was asked if he made threats to kill.

His bail was extended in June when he was still yet to be charged.

He was arrested at his home in Bowdon.

A representative for Greater Manchester Police said they were aware of an allegation of a 21-year-old man breaching his bail conditions and an arrest has been made on Saturday.

Enquiries are ongoing at this time, they said.

Shortly after the online allegations in January, he was suspended from playing or training with his club.

He was removed from the active squad of Electronic Arts' game.
