Man Utd captain Maguire returns to England after Greece arrest

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has returned home to England to await a court's verdict following his arrest after a drunken brawl on the Greek isle of Mykonos.

The England defender, 27, denied allegations including assault, disobedience and bribery in connection with the aftermath of the fracas, during which a police officer was allegedly assaulted, reports the Mirror.

The £80million star's sister Daisy, 20, was allegedly attacked with a sharp object in the melee, but Greek police say they have no knowledge of that.

A trial will take place in his absence on neighbouring island Syros tomorrow.

Maguire spent two nights in a cell before being grilled over his version of events by a prosecutor on Sunday.
