He intends to appeal his conviction. Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was sentenced Tuesday to 21 months and 10 days in prison for "assault" and "insults" by the court on the Greek island of Syros. The footballer was tried in the act after a fight in a night club in Mykonos.
Absent from the trial, the defender was found guilty of all charges, "assault on state officials", "bodily harm", "verbal insults" and "attempted corruption".
The England international was arrested overnight from Thursday to Friday with his brother and a friend after an altercation with tourists and an assault on Greek police officers. He then spent two nights in detention before being released.
Not selected by England coach
“After today's hearing (Tuesday), I instructed my lawyers to immediately inform the court that I will appeal, reacted Maguire. I remain strong and confident about our innocence in this matter - I, my family and friends are the victims in this matter. "
After the Greek court's decision was announced, England manager Gareth Southgatene indicated that Harry Maguire was not selected to play his national team's next two games against Iceland and Denmark.
