Maguire: I'm looking forward to getting on with my life

Harry Maguire is pleased to have shared his version of events in Greece and is now looking forward to returning to his normal life.

Maguire gave an emotional interview to the BBC on Thursday to explain the events in Greece that led to his arrest and saw him charged on the account of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery.

The Manchester United captain disclosed that he feared for his life and thought he had been kidnapped during the ordeal.

He was arrested, along with his brother and a friend, amid claims his sister, Daisy, was injected with a ‘rape drug’ that led to a brawl while on holiday in Mykonos.

A Greek court later handed him a 21-month suspended prison sentence, which Maguire’s legal team plan to appeal with a full retrial.

But it’s back to business next week for Maguire as Manchester United’s pre-season preparations begin next week, one which he’s looking forward to after his hellish experience in Greece.

‪”Thanks for everyone’s support over the last week, I’m pleased to have had my say and share the true version of events,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Looking forward to getting on with life now and the season ahead with Manchester United and England.”

The world’s most expensive defender, however, will have to wait a little longer to feature for England after Gareth Southgate omitted him after his conviction on Tuesday.
