Harry Maguire's lawyer reacts after the Man U captain leaves the court in Greece

Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has appeared in court following his arrest on the island of Mykonos, Greek police have said.

The England defender, 27, was arrested following an alleged fight on Thursday night, along with two other Britons, aged 28 and 29.

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

Maguire and the two other detainees were transported to Syros by ship, where they faced charges by a public prosecutor.

The prosecutor is considering three charges - aggravated assault, verbal assault and also the most serious one, the attempted bribery of an official.

Although it is unclear which of these charges specifically pertain to Maguire and which to the two other men it could be as much as a three year prison sentence for attempted bribery.

Maguire was in court for around an hour before leaving and refusing to make any comment or statement on the incident.

When asked by Sky News' sports correspondent Martha Kelner whether Maguire was a free man, the defender's lawayer said: "Right now. Yes."
