Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has been found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest and repeated bribery attempts after being involved in a fight in Greece.

Maguire, his brother, and his friend were arrested while on vacation after accusing two men of injecting his sister with a “rape drug”.

Man U’s star captain was sentenced to 21 months and 10 days in prison, although that will likely be suspended as it was a first offense.

"I remain strong and confident regarding our innocence in this matter - if anything myself, family and friends are the victims." - Harry Maguire

"Harry Maguire pleaded not guilty to all three charges made against him and he continues to strongly assert his innocence. It should be noted that the prosecution confirmed the charges and provided their evidence late on the day before the trial, giving the defence team minimal time to digest them and prepare. A request for the case to be adjourned was subsequently denied." - Manchester United
