Statement from Phil Foden

Foden has a son, aged one, and is in a long-term relationship with Rebecca Cooke who became the mother of their son, Ronnie at the age of 18.

A photo has emerged with Phil Foden showing his bum so it is safe to assume that Foden was not just a wing man for Mason.

Statement from Lara Clausen

They were just young. We were all young and stupid and we all make mistakes. They treated us really well. They were such gentlemen.

Statement from Mason Greenwood

Having now had the chance to reflect on what’s happened, I can only apologise to everyone for the embarrassment I have caused.

It was irresponsible of me to break the UEFA protocols which are in place to protect players, staff and the public.

In particular, I want to apologise to Gareth Southgate, for letting him down, when he had shown great trust in me.

Playing for England was one of the proudest moments in my life and I only have myself to blame for this huge mistake.

I promise my family, the fans, Manchester United and England that this is a lesson I will learn from.

Fall Out

Manchester City Statement: It is clear that Phil’s actions were totally inappropriate. His behaviour not only directly contravenes strict guidelines related to UEFA Guidelines, but also falls well below the standard expected of a Manchester City and England international.

Manchester United Statement: We are liaising with the FA and we are disappointed with the actions of Mason Greenwood.

Mason Greenwood has deactivated his twitter account while Nadía Sif Líndal has deactivated her Instagram account.

Nadía Sif Líndal has made it clear that she was in contact with Mason before the night and didn’t rule out any chances of long term relationship.
