Update: Manchester United Player Arrested in Rape Investigation

Manchester police have arrested United's 19-year-old defender Jonny Evans in connection with a rape that was reported following a team Christmas party at a Manchester hotel.

Evans has [had?] a bright football future. He played at Sunderland last year and has eight caps for Northern Ireland. He's made the pitch three times for United this season.

The entire Man. U. roster was in attendance, sans Cristiano Ronaldo. A 26-year-old woman claimed to police she was raped at the party.

The Times of London is reporting the bash cost the team's top players 4,000 pounds EACH! English lap dancers are expensive. The Tines also reports that Sir Alex Ferguson was reluctant about the party, but gave his OK.
