Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was arrested on the Greek resort island of Mykonos for alleged attack and attack on police officers on Friday.
United said in a brief that they were “aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night.”
“Contacts have been made with Harry and he is cooperating with the Greek authorities.
“At this time we will not comment,” the club added.
A statement from Greek police on Friday that three men over the age of 27, 28 and 29 had been arrested in Mykonos.
A police officer in Syros, the capital of the island organization that includes Mykonos, showed the AFP that the suspects were “three British men, plus a player from the British football club,” but they did call Maguire.
Police stated that officers who responded to an “altercation” had been verbally insulted and that a police officer had been punched.
At one point a fight broke out at the local police station where the three men “resisted vigorously (arrest), pushing and beating three cops,” he said.
Then one of the suspects tried to bribe the officials to monitor the incident, police said.
Syros’ officer said four Mykonos officers suffered minor injuries in the accident.
Suspects are charged with assault, resisting arrest, verbally insulting and threatening officers who arrested them, and trying to bribe them, police said.
Ana’s Greek state firm said a fight broke out between British tourists outside a bar.
The firm knew suspects as Maguire, his brother and a friend.
ANA said police had asked the suspects to go to the police station in a minivan, but when they arrived they tried to flee.
They will appear before a Syros prosecutor later on Friday, the local officer said.
Footage of a Mykonos celebrity allegedly filmed on Wednesday, the day before the incident, showed England’s central defender being greeted by a fan in the busy narrow streets of the island’s capital.
United’s Europa League season ended on Sunday with a 2–1 loss to Sevilla.
But the club will return to preseason education in two weeks and may begin its Premier League crusade in less than a month.
The Mykonos incident occurred before the COVID-19 night curfew in nightclubs and restaurants that arrived here on Friday.
The restaurants and bars on the island for all night parties are now destined to close at midnight, masks are mandatory, and only teams of up to nine more are allowed in.
But the operators that consumers leave their institutions simply gather on the street.
Greece has recorded around 8,000 cases of coronavirus, more than 3,000 of them this month, and 235 deaths.
