Manchester United captain Harry Maguire pleads not guilty after leaving Greek court

Harry Maguire has pleaded not guilty to charges after appearing in court following his arrest on the island of Mykonos.

    The England defender was arrested following an alleged fight on Thursday night, along with two other Britons.

Police said there had been an altercation and an exchange of words with officers with the three men appearing before a prosecutor on the nearby island of Syros on Saturday.

Maguire was in court for around an hour testifying to a prosecutor, where he denied all charges, and it is understood the trial has been adjourned until a hearing on Tuesday.

However, the three defendants are not obliged to attend the trial and are free to return home. Maguire left the court in a van, refusing to make any comment or statement about the incident.

When a journalist asked whether Harry was a free man, the defender's lawyer said: "Right now. Yes."

    Manchester United released a statement shortly after confirming Maguire's not guilty plea, which read:

"Following the appearance in court today we note the adjournment of the case to allow the legal team to consider the case file.

"Harry has pleaded not guilty to the charges. It would be inappropriate for the player or club to comment further while the legal process takes its course."

Maguire had been on Mykonos with family and friends, having been given two weeks off following the side's semi-final defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League on Sunday.

The club is set to open their 2020/21 Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace on September 19.
