Man United captain 'detained for attacking police'

ISTANBUL

English football club Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been arrested for attacking police in Mykonos, Greece, local media reported on Friday.

Greece-based news agency ANA said Maguire, his brother, and some friends were involved in a bust-up with a group of other English tourists.

They attacked the police officers who intervened, both physically and verbally, it said, adding that Maguire and two others are now in custody.

The 27-year-old English defender, who is in Greece on a holiday, joined the Red Devils from Leicester in August 2019.

Manchester United said they were "aware of the alleged incident," and that Maguire "is fully co-operating with the Greek authorities."
