Manchester United’s Harry Maguire has been arrested following ‘an incident’ on the island of Mykonos.
The club captain is said to have been on holiday in Greece when he apparently got into difficulty with the law.
Maguire has reportedly been transferred from Mykonos to the island of Syros in a police boat and is set to spend a second night in custody.
only transfer we will be making this year

On Friday, the Syros prosecutor’s office confirmed “three foreigners” had been arrested following an alleged series of altercations with locals and police officers in Mykonos.
Man Utd have also released a statement:
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.
These are the best of the tweets and jokes as Harry Maguire is arrested in Mykonos:
So Harry Maguire was arrested last night. Early reports are saying that he fell over in Greece and headbutted Cyprus.
More to follow.

Harry Maguire has reportedly been arrested for fighting while on holiday in Greece.
Lawyers will use footage of his defending against Sevilla to argue that he has no awareness of his surroundings and couldn't possibly react quick enough to be involved in a fight.

Harry Maguire still in police custody as Manchester United express reluctance at paying the entrie bail fee this summer. They prefer to spread the cost over two years with a series of add-ons.

If the Greek police have watched Harry Maguire play CB this season I highly doubt they're gonna believe he's capable of self defence

Just off the phone to a mate who reps in Mykonos. Gave some details on #harrymaguire incident. Said Maguire was attacked from behind on Wednesday night so he went to defend himself. Trouble is, by the time he’d turned around, it was Friday morning & he hit an innocent bystander.
