The Manchester United player was charged with attempted rape.

The 21-year-old was charged with a number of crimes.

He was arrested in January due to allegations.

A private hearing will take place at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court where the footballer will be released from custody.

He had been taken into custody after he appeared in court.

A spokesman for the court said bail had been granted with conditions not to contact witnesses and to live in Bowdon.

He didn't show up for the brief hearing.

He had been on bail since January, but was arrested on Saturday for allegedly breaching the conditions.

The charges are related to the same woman.

The attempted rape is said to have happened in October of 2011.

He is accused of making threatening and derogatory comments towards the woman, as well as accessing and monitoring her social media accounts.

A charge of assault occasioning actual bodily harm is said to have taken place in December of 2011.

At the beginning of the year, the forward, who has made one appearance for England, was suspended from playing or training with the club after allegations surfaced.
