United have confirmed that England’s international defender is “cooperating with authorities” and they have been in contact with him.
The club issued a statement on Friday morning reading: “The club is aware of an alleged incident in which Harry Maguire was involved in Mykonos yesterday.
“Contact has been made with Harry and he is fully cooperating with the Greek authorities. At this time we will not comment further.”
Maguire has been on holiday at Mykonos since United’s season ended in a 2-1 defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League semi-final on Sunday.
Two other Britons were also arrested.
“The footballer was verbally abused against an officer and then beaten,” a police official said. “The three were resisting when they were taken to the Mykonos police station.”
