Harry Maguire Refuses To Apologise After Greece Arrest

Harry Maguire Refuses To Apologise After Greece Arrest

After being arrested in Greece for allegedly fighting with police, Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has revealed why he refuses to apologise for his role in the incident.

Last week, while on holiday in Mykonos, Greece, shock reports emerged stating that the Red Devils skipper had been detained by authorities after he was said to have used aggressive force with a police officer.

The 27-year-old was then found guilty in court and handed a 21-month suspended sentence due to it being his first offence, one that he has already appealed.

This incident in question occurred after Maguire's sister was allegedly drugged by two Albanian men, setting a strange and harrowing chain of events that led to the United player and his friends being thrown in jail.

The court also found the England international guilty of attempted bribery and resisting arrest, although Maguire maintained his innocence in a recent interview with the BBC Sport, during which he recalled what happened.

"These two men approached my little sister," he said.

"They asked where she was from, she responded and then my fiancee saw her eyes going to the back of her head. She ran over, and she was fainting, in and out of consciousness.

"My initial thought (when the police arrived), I thought we were getting kidnapped. We got down on our knees, put our hands in the air.

"They started hitting us, he got one of my hands in the handcuff and he was hitting my leg saying, 'Your career's over, no more football, you won't play again'.

"At that point, I thought there's no chance these are police, I don't know who they are, I tried to run away. I was in that much of a panic, fear... I was scared for my life.

"I don't feel like I owe an apology to anybody. An apology is when you've done something wrong. I regret putting the fans and the club through this."
