2 min readMar 5, 2026 01:25 AM IST Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been given a 15-month suspended sentence over a nightclub scuffle on the Greek island of Mykonos in August 2020. Maguire originally was handed a 21-month suspended sentence shortly after the incident, but he appealed the ruling, which triggered a new trial at a court on the island of Syros, the region’s administrative capital. The appeals trial had been delayed several times, including once because of a lawyers’ strike. Maguire, who turns 33 on Thursday, was then convicted on related charges. The center-back has denied wrongdoing. In 2020, he said: “If anything, myself, family, and friends are the victims.” Maguire can appeal the ruling. After the incident, the United player had given his version of events in an interview with BBC and explained why he had not apologised for the incident. He had said that he was scared for his life. “An apology is something when you have done something wrong.” Talking about the incident he said: “I don’t wish it on …

Manchester United who are currently in one of their worst league runs in history with a club-record 18 losses in the Premier League, still have the fans support behind them, a fact that has even surprised their own players. United, however, still has a chance to repay their fans this season if they can win the Europa League against Tottenham in Bilbao on Wednesday. “They’ve been absolutely incredible this season. It is surprising us players how much they are backing us. We’ve disappointed them far too much. I say they’re the greatest fans in the world and I think this year they’ve proved that. It’s been remarkable when we get to play in front of them, even though we’re not performing,” defender Harry Maguire said. “Two months ago, we should have been in a better position where we are fighting for a Europa League position and the Champions League positions. That is what this club demands. When we found ourselves out of the (League Cup) and FA Cup it gave us an opportunity in the …

Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim said that the team will be focusing on changing the mind of co-owner Jim Ratcliffe who in a recent interview had criticized some players of the current squad, saying they were not good enough and were overpaid. “If we’re being honest, in this moment everybody — me, all the players — we are underperforming this season. We can always change that, so I include myself in that part of ‘underperforming’,” Amorim told reporters. “You are talking about players like Casemiro, for example, that won everything (with Real Madrid) and we know that these kind of players can play so much better.

Arsenal’s hopes of catching up to Liverpool at the top of the table suffered an almighty blow when they were shocked by 16th placed West Ham United on Saturday. Arsenal, who are bereft of most of their forward players with Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli all out injured, suffered another setback when midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off with a red card. West Ham had taken the lead in the 44th minute when Jarrod Bowen scored from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka assist.
