Harry Maguire was kicked in the leg by police officers who told him "your career is over", according to Sky Sports, the Manchester United captain's lawyer told the court. The prosecution alleged that once Maguire arrived at a police station, he said: "Do you know who I am? I am the captain of Manchester United, I am very rich, I can give you money, I can pay you, please let us go." Plainclothes police officers intervened to try calm the situation, but the "English men" did not, and one of the defendants said "f***, f*** the police" and one punched an officer, it was claimed. The court had been asked to postpone proceedings over Maguire's alleged involvement in a brawl on the island of Mykonos in Greece. The trial went ahead, with his lawyer Alexis Anagnostakis telling the court in Syros that two Albanian men had approached Maguire's sister Daisy - who fainted immediately after being injected with an unknown substance. They called for transport and asked to be driven to the hospital, but were instead taken to a police department. Mr Anagnostakis alleged that Maguire was then kicked in the leg by police officers who told him: "Your career is over." The defence argued they were breaking away to make a phone call. But the police officer said he did not see them make one. Maguire, who was not present in court, pleaded not guilty, denying charges of aggravated assault and attempted bribery of an official. The Manchester United captain was released from police custody on Thursday after he was arrested during a holiday with family and friends.
