Harry Maguire retrial at Greek court to be held in February

Harry Maguire’s retrial at a Greek court will be held in February, the PA news agency understands.

The Manchester United and England defender was handed a suspended 21-month sentence in August 2020 following an incident in Mykonos.

Maguire’s legal team immediately lodged an appeal against the conviction for assaulting a police offer and attempted bribery, which United said extinguished the initial court verdict and nullified the conviction.

The retrial was reportedly set to take place earlier this month until the defender’s legal team asked for it to be put back.

PA has been told it will now take place on February 7th, 2024, three-and-a-half years after the event.

Maguire does not have to attend the retrial and it is understood the United captain is unlikely to appear given the time of year.
