The 20-year-old forward was arrested initially on Sunday on suspicion of rape and assault after police said they became “aware of online social media images and videos posted by a woman reporting incidents of physical violence.”
A court granted police until Wednesday to continue questioning Greenwood, who has not been charged.
“Following enquiries so far, he has since been further arrested on suspicion of sexual assault and threats to kill," Greater Manchester Police said.
United has said Greenwood “will not return to training or play matches until further notice."
Greenwood, who has six goals this season, is under contract with United through 2025.
