Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs has been charged with assaulting his ex-girlfriend.
Giggs, now Wales manager, is accused of causing actual bodily harm to PR worker Kate Greville, 36, at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester, in November.
The 47-year-old faces an additional charge of coercive and controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.
Giggs, of Chatsworth Road, has also been charged with the common assault of a woman in her 20s during the same alleged incident.
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesperson said he will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday April 28.
"We have authorised Greater Manchester Police to charge Ryan Giggs with engaging in behaviour which was controlling or coercive and assault occasioning actual bodily harm," The CPS said.
"A charge of assault by beating relating to a second woman has also been authorised. Mr Giggs will appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates' Court on Wednesday 28th April.
"The CPS made the decision to charge Mr Giggs after reviewing a file of evidence from Greater Manchester Police.
"Criminal proceedings are active and nothing should be published that could jeopardise the defendant's right to a fair trial."
Greater Manchester Police said officers were called at 10.05pm on November 1 to reports of a disturbance at an address on Chatsworth Road, Worsley.
A woman in her 30s was treated for injuries at the scene.
