Harry Maguire was kicked in the leg by police officers who told him "your career is over", the Manchester United football star's lawyer has told a Greek court.

The prosecution alleged that once Maguire arrived at a police station, he said: "Do you know who I am? I am the captain of Manchester United, I am very rich, I can give you money, I can pay you, please let us go."

Mr Anagnostakis said he has in his possession a video from outside the police station on Mykonos, which he said shows the three defendants on the night in a state of "extreme agony", which he needed more time to verify.

Maguire was not in attendance and has already pleaded not guilty to charges of aggravated assault and attempted bribery of an official.

The England defender spent two nights in custody last week after he was arrested during a holiday with family and friends on the Greek island of Mykonos.

The 27-year-old was arrested following an alleged brawl, along with two other Britons.

Police said there had been an altercation and an exchange of words with an officer who tried to break up the fight.

Maguire became the world's most expensive defender following his £80m move last summer from Leicester.
