Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has reportedly been arrested this morning after allegedly attacked a police officer outside a bar in Mykonos, Greece.
Greek outlet Protothema claimed Maguire and his friends were involved in a fight with other Englishmen outside of a bar in the area.
It’s added that the United defender was handcuffed by police after the incident while the police themselves were targeted too although it’s not clear if that involved Maguire or the others in the altercation.
