Manchester United defender Harry Maguire intends to appeal the verdict to the Greek Supreme Court. On Wednesday, he was sentenced to 15 months in prison suspended, following an incident that took place in Mykonos in 2020. According to the British news agency PA Media, Maguire plans to appeal the sentence, which was reduced from an initial 21-month prison term handed down in 2020. Sources close to the player stated that Maguire and his legal representatives rejected several attempts to settle the case out of court, including an offer made during Wednesday's recess, as he is determined to prove his innocence. It is also known that the English defender did not attend the hearing in Greece and is ready for Manchester United's match against Newcastle United on Wednesday. Sources close to the player said there are no travel restrictions on him, which means that, in the current situation, he is eligible to join England's squad for next summer's World Cup. Maguire was initially convicted in 2020 of assaulting a police officer, insulting, resisting arrest, and attempting to bribe. According to reports, on Wednesday he was given a 15-month suspended sentence for minor assault, resisting arrest, and attempting to bribe.
