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.

What kind of self-respecting footballer goes on holiday to Mykonos

Ohhh, the brutality...

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

Lad's got a point...

Roy Keane arrested - What a lad. ROY! ROY! ROY!Wayne Rooney arrested - He's not the same player if you take that side away from him - what a player though.Harry Maguire arrested - Take the captaincy off him imo.
