Man United and England forward Mason Greenwood has been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill.
He remains in custody for questioning following investigations into the allegations.
A GMP statement reads: "Man was arrested after we became aware of social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
"Suspect remains in custody for questioning after additional time authorised by Magistrates' court. Significant updates will be released proactively from GMP press office.
"Detectives have been granted further additional time to speak to a man in his 20s who was arrested on suspicion of rape and assault of a woman.
"The suspect was detained in custody on Sunday (30 January) afternoon after we became aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.
"He continues to be questioned after magistrates authorised an extension until tomorrow (Wednesday 2 February).
"Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill. Enquiries are ongoing and the victim continues to be offered specialist support."
It added: "We remind people to avoid any commentary or sharing of images that could compromise the victim's right to lifelong anonymity, or risk prejudicing a live investigation with active proceedings.
