United star arrested over rape suspicions

Manchester Utd's Portugal international Cristiano Ronlado has been arrested on suspicion of rape.

Scotland Yard has confirmed that a man in his 20s was arrested after voluntarily attending a police station for a pre-arranged appointment on Thursday.

The arrest is part of an investigation into allegations of rape at a hotel in central London on 2 October. A second man attended but was not arrested.

Ronaldo is reportedly being questioned by detectives but United's director of communications Phil Townsend would only say when asked about the incident: "We're not commenting at the moment."

The 20-year-old, whose father died recently, has been a regular in the United side this season and played in Tuesday's Champions League tie with Lille.
