A decision is expected to follow soon after.

Greenwood, 20, was arrested on suspicion of rape, sexual assault, making threats to kill and assault.

He was held for three days before being bailed.

Yesterday a source said: “He’s still on bail but things are at an advanced stage.

“The police and CPS are currently discussing if there is a case or not to bring against him.

“There comes a point where a decision has to be made and things have reached that point.”

The £75,000-a-week star, capped once by England, was suspended by United after his arrest.

The club removed his merchandise from sale, Nike suspended its sponsorship deal with him and he was axed from the FIFA video game.
