RYAN Giggs has sold the £1.7million mansion where he is accused of head-butting his former girlfriend.
The Manchester United great, 48, managed to offload the Tudor-style pad weeks before he went on trial over the allegations.
A source said: “He just wanted to get rid of it and put it behind him.
“He loved that place and had owned it for over 20 years but he knew it needed to go.”
Former Wales manager Giggs is believed to have bought the property in 2001 for £545,000 and his mum lived there for several years.
He and girlfriend Kate Greville, 38, lived at the five-bedroom house in Worsley, Gtr Manchester, from March 2020 and throughout lockdown.

But police were called on November 1 of that year following a bust-up and Giggs was taken away in the back of a police van.
He was accused of attacking Kate and of coercively controlling her for three years.
His trial ended this week with the Manchester crown court jury unable to reach a verdict.
Giggs, who will find out next week whether he faces a retrial, put the property on the market on March 31, 2021, but struggled to sell it, even though it had the wow factor.

The house is on the same street as a property he shared with ex-wife Stacey before she learnt of his eight-year affair with his brother Rhodri’s wife and his relationship with Kate.
He sold it last year for a knockdown £3million — two years after putting it on the market.
