Harry Maguire ‘arrested in Mykonos after Man Utd star’s bust-up with Greek police’


ENGLAND and Man Utd star Harry Maguire has been arrested in Mykonos after a bust-up with cops, according to reports.

The £85million centre-back was allegedly involved in a clash with two men outside a bar on the Greek island in the early hours of the morning.

According to a source, the captain, 27, was with a group of nine lads when a row kicked off with other Brits who were “annoying” women they were out with.

Police then intervened and pulled Maguire’s mini bus over as it left Mykonos, where bars are on a midnight curfew due to coronavirus.

But two of the group began hurling abuse at cops and their driver, who was instructed to drive to a police station, it is claimed.

A second bust-up between officers and three of Maguire’s group – including the star himself – then reportedly broke out when the trio refused to enter the station.

All three were arrested and held overnight but Maguire has since bailed, a source says.

He has now been transferred to the island of Syros where he will go before a prosecutor facing charges of verbally abusing the police and assaulting a police officer.

Footage has started to emerge of the star enjoying a boozy break on the luxury Greek island before the new season kicks off next month.

One video, which appears to have been shot on Wednesday, shows Maguire in a crowded bar posing for pictures with fans.

The defender also encountered Love Island’s Chris Hughes on Wednesday night.

The reality star shared a photo of Maguire in his Instagram story on Wednesday showing the beaming footballer clutching a shot glass.

Hughes had his own trouble in Mykonos after he was left with a gash inches from his eye following a boozy accident on Wednesday.

The star is on a lads holiday in Greece with snooker champion Judd Trump, who yesterday celebrated his birthday.

Maguire also popped up at Trump’s birthday bash on Thursday.

The defender can be seen in a group of people topless while bobbing along to music by a swimming pool.

The clip was shared on snooker player Oliver Lines’ Instagram story.

And his partner Fern Hawkins posted an Instagram shot of the pair enjoying some time together 15 hours ago.

Fern, who has two baby daughters with Maguire, captioned the sweet photo: “Holidays with you” followed by a love heart.

A statement from Utd 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.”

It comes after Utd suffered yet another painful semi-final defeat – this time to Sevilla in the Europa League.

Had they won, Utd would be facing Inter Milan in the final tonight in Germany.

Maguire said he was “devastated’ by the early exit on Sunday.

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

“It means a lot to us, the boys are devastated. We have a good group of lads who know what it means to play for this club and losing isn’t acceptable. Getting to semi-finals isn’t acceptable and we now have to look at taking it another step.

“Maybe that little bit of inexperience cost us in the end. Even when we are on top, creating chances we shouldn’t concede that second goal.

“They worked it well down the right but we have to do better. We conceded from two crosses and it’s not good enough.”

The Sheffield-born star became the world’s most expensive defender when he signed for Utd from Leicester City for £85million in August last year.

He was named captain in January this year following Ashley Young’s departure to Inter Milan.

But his position as captain could now be called into question following his alleged arrest.

He is next due to play at Old Trafford for their first game of the season on September 19 against Crystal Palace.

The row also comes a week before disciplinarian England manager Gareth Southgate names his Three Lions squad to play against Iceland and Denmark in September.

Maguire has made 26 appearances for England and was a key part of the team’s journey to the World Cup semi-finals in 2018.
