Police are investigating a sex attack allegation after a 26-year old woman claimed she was raped at a hotel where Manchester United was holding its Christmas party.
Police were called to the Great John Street Hotel in the Castlefield area of Manchester, at 4.15am this morning after receiving a 999 call, according to reports.

The club had hired the 35-room hotel exclusively for the party, which was attended by Manchester United stars.

No arrests have been made and Greater Manchester police said inquiries were continuing. Plain clothes officers visited the hotel this morning to quiz staff about the party.

A sign outside the venue reads: "Please note the hotel will be closed until further notice. Thank you for your co-operation."
A spokesperson for the hotel, where rooms cost between £235 and £395 per night, said: "I can't confirm anything. I can only say that we are helping the police with their enquiries."

A spokesperson for Greater Manchester police said: "Police are currently investigating a report of rape at a hotel in Manchester city centre. At about 4.15am on Tuesday 18 December 2007, police were called to the hotel on Great John Street to a report that a 26-year-old woman had been raped. Inquiries are continuing."

It's never cut and dried this kind of shit though, hasn't there been a few cases where some slapper has gone back to a room with a player/s and then cried rape for some fucked up (usually financial) reason?

Minefield all this stuff, time will tell anyway.

He was mate but every time he kept getting near the box he would fall over with his hands in the air.

Wasn't he involved in a home movie spit roasting some bird while away with Norn Iron recently?

As S31 says, these things are a minefield. There are so many women queueing up to throw themselves at players that the players take the attitude they can have any girl who talks to them. The problem for any girl that talks to them is that just by talking to players, everyone assumes you're a dirty little slapper who's up for it, so sympathy or belief is usually not forthcoming if anything happens. Wrong, but true.

For whats is worth and with no fact to back up my opinion. I think they are all guilty and should be castrated then hung from successive bridges on the M62.
