Man United captain Harry Maguire arrested after bust up with Greek police in Mykonos

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been arrested after an altercation with Greek police on holiday island, Mykonos.

The 27-year-old was one of three Englishmen held by local officers on Thursday night.

Maguire, following a £80m move from Leicester to Old Trafford in 2019, is the world's most expensive defender.

South Aegean Police confirmed that there was an 'altercation' and 'exchange of words' with local cops that resulted in the arrests.

All three men are due to appear in court on the island of Syros on Friday.

United 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 co-operating with the Greek authorities.

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

United players are taking time off after their Europa League exertions earlier this month.

The club were eliminated by Spanish side Sevilla last Sunday. The Europa League final will take place in Germany on Friday night.

In his first season at Old Trafford Maguire was an ever-present in the Premier League, scoring one goal.

Maguire's representatives have been contacted for a response.

The player was one of the Premier League captains who drew praise for his involvement in the PlayersTogether initiative, which helped raise funds for the NHS during the coronavirus pandemic.
