In comes the new season; in comes excellent news for David De Gea and Iker Muniain in their recent sex scandal case.
According to Interviú (as per Marca), the Manchester United goalie and Athletic Bilbao attacker have both been cleared of the Torbe case.
A report by El Confidencial emerged in early June prior to the UEFA Euro 2016 kick off claiming that the Spaniards had raped a girl back in 2012.
One witness who remains unnamed for her protection claims she was taken to a hotel and abused by De Gea and Muniain in relation with a case accusing pornographic producer Torbe of trafficking girls.
The Red Devils custodian quickly denied the allegations, saying in a statement: "I am surprised by the news. It is serious and false.
"These accusations give me more strength to train harder and help the team. They can say all they want, it is all false. I will keep training in the face of this.
"I am more surprised than anyone about this.''
Fortunately for the player, neither will have to testify, as both suspects have been found innocent by the police, the judge, and prosecutor. The reason: there were inconsistencies in the girl’s testimony.
If true, this news comes ahead of Manchester United’s clash with Hull City. The 20-time English Premier League have played two games in the new 2016/17 season, and are off to a good start, boasting a 100 percent record so far.
