Harry Maguire has re-visited the agony of his arrest and conviction for assaulting a police officer, on the eve of leaving with the England team seeking World Cup glory.

The Manchester United defender, controversially picked for England despite a long run of poor form and absence from his Premier League team's line-up, said he had 'no regrets' about the clash with police in Mykonos in the summer of 2020.

The £190,000-a-week defender tells today's Times magazine that he was hoping to be cleared on appeal.

The soccer star was found guilty of assaulting up to six officers and then attempting to bribe them inside a police station while on holiday with eight family members and friends.
