Maguire quizzed over police assault
ATHENS • Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was yesterday detained for questioning on the Greek island of Mykonos, after allegedly being involved in an incident in which police officers were assaulted after a brawl.
A local police officer said the world's most expensive defender at £80 million (S$143 million), who was booked along with two other Britons, was "verbally abusive to an officer and hit him".
English Premier League football club United issued a statement saying they were aware of the incident involving the England international, who is on holiday, but declined to make further comment.
