Manchester United captain arrested in Mykonos after assaulting police officers [VIDEO]

·

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was taken to Mykonos police station after allegedly assaulting a police officer in the early hours of Friday.

The English international was caught having a scuffle with some other men outside of a bar in Mykonos Town. According to the Greek paper ÆŸema, citizens reportedly tipped off the ELAS at 12.30 a.m Friday morning, claiming that two groups of Englishmen were fighting outside a bar.

The paper does not specify what the ‘wild incident’ was, but the ELAS proceeded to handcuff Maguire and the other involved parties after arriving at the scene.

‘When the police intervened to stop the quarrel, three people from a group of Englishmen attacked the [police]men verbally and using physical violence,’ the outlet reports.

‘As a result, the police brought the three Englishmen – among them the United central defender – to Mykonos police station.’

After arriving at Mykonos police station, the three subjects allegedly continued to provoke and beat two police officers, resulting in their arrest.

According to his lawyers, Maguire reportedly denied his attack as he was taken away by boat to the Syros prosecutor’s office.

Manchester United responded to the incident with the following statement:

“The club is aware of an episode in which Harry Maguire is involved and it happened in Mykonos last night. We contacted Harry, who is fully cooperating with the Greek authorities. At this point in time, there will be no further comment. “

If guilty of beating the police officers, it is assumed that the board or Manchester United manger Ole Gunnar Solskjær will be forced to issue a punishment to the English player.

Maguire joined the ‘Red Devils’ for a record-breaking fee of 80 million pounds in 2019, the most any club has payed for a defender so far.
