Manchester United Captain Has been Detained On Greek Island After Brawl.
Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was detained for questioning in the Greek island of Mykonos for allegedly assaulting officers after a brawl, Greek state TV ERT said.
Maguire was detained after allegedly assaulting officers who were called in to break up a brawl between two groups of tourists.
United have confirmed the England international defender is “co-operating with authorities” and they have been in contact with him.
The club issued a statement on Friday morning which read: “The club is aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night.
“Contact has been made with Harry and he is fully co-operating with the Greek authorities. At this time we will be making no further comment.”
Maguire has been on holiday in Mykonos since United’s season ended with a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League semifinals on Sunday.
Two other Britons were also detained.
“The soccer player was verbally abusive to an officer and then hit him,” a police official said. “The three were resisting when brought to the Mykonos police station.”
