'I condemn violence against women': Gary Neville explains why he liked a tweet calling Mason Greenwood 'innocent'

Mason Greenwood had all criminal charges of rape and assault against him officially dropped on Thursday.

Reacting to the news, Gary Neville liked a tweet stating the Manchester United forward was 'innocent until proven guilty'.

Following a massive social media backlash, Neville removed the like and issued an explanation behind his actions.

He wrote: "I liked a tweet relating to the Mason Greenwood news this afternoon from Nazir Afzal (the former director of public prosecutions).

"This like is being misinterpreted. It was a clumsy like as I obviously condemn any violence against women."
