Manchester United Captain, Harry Maguire Has Been Arrested In Mykonos, Greek Island During Holiday

Manchester United captain, Harry Maguire has been arrested by police after allegedly attacking them with other Englishmen during holidays on the Greek Island, Mykonos with some other friends. Police said two groups of Englishmen who were brawling outside Mykonos' Fabrica bar in the early hours of Friday morning and when they tried to intervene they were rounded on by three men​​​​​.

Maguire, 27, was pictured drinking at a pool party with fellow United youngsters Marcus Rashford and Brandon Williams, as well as Chris Hughes and snooker player Judd Trump.

After the brawl has been sorted out, one of the two groups - with the football players - started verbally abusing officers. There were several policemen present at the spot. At some point, one of the three members of the group threw a swing at one of the policemen and a fight ensued.

All of the three were arrested but during the effort to do so, the other two, including the football player, got violent also. They threw down at least two policemen, hit them with their fists and kicked them.

'I can't tell you what they were telling us. All English swear words against the authorities and against the work of the police. All three, including the football player, are being held in custody, locked up in Mykonos cell. They will appear before a state prosecutor on the island of Syros later today to be charged with aggravated assault.' Petros Vassilakis, a police spokesman said.

Asked about what brought the police to the area, a police source said locals had called police to report raucous behavior outside a bar and that tourists were not leaving the area - despite a coronavirus curfew in place as reported by MailOnline.

Manchester United press release said: '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 cooperating with the Greek authorities.

'At this time we will be making no further comment.' 

The club was eliminated by the Spanish side Sevilla last Sunday. Had they won that fixture they would be up against Inter Milan in the final tonight in Germany.

Maguire said he was 'devastated' by the semi-final exit against the Spanish side last week.

He added: 'We deserved to go through but ultimately we fell short at the semi-final stage, for the third time this season.
