Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was pictured today arriving at a Greek police station for a second night behind bars after allegedly punching a police officer and then attempting to bribe his way out custody.

The £85million England international was allegedly involved in a bust-up with a group of other Englishmen before becoming 'very abusive and aggressive' towards officers who arrived to intervene last night on the island of Mykonos. 

Maguire, 27, spent the night in a cell along with two other men thought to be fellow players, aged 28 and 29, and the trio have been transferred to the neighbouring island of Syros where they will appear before the state prosecutor tomorrow on charges including aggravated assault, verbal assault and attempted bribery.

The maximum sentennce for bribery in Greece is three years in prison but Maguire's lawyer said he denies all wrongdoing. She said: 'Maguire denies the allegations against him. Fortunately, we will get rid of it tomorrow.'

The chief prosecutor told local media that he expects Maguire to make an apology at the hearing. 

Maguire, a father-of-two, was seen this evening being taken into Syros police station by plain-clothes officers after an hour-long ferry crossing to his new jail cell with the two other men.  

Police said that two of their officers suffered facial injuries during the scrap after they were allegedly hurled to the ground, punched and kicked. 

Maguire was yesterday pictured drinking at a pool party at SantAnna Bar with fellow United youngsters Marcus Rashford, 22, and Brandon Williams, 19, as well as Love Island star Chris Hughes, 27, and snooker player Judd Trump, 31 and his brother Joe Maguire. It is not clear if anybody at this party was with Maguire later that evening.

It is not clear if anybody at this party was with Maguire later that evening.

Maguire was pictured at the SantAnna Bar on the Greek island on Thursday afternoon with the group that included Marcus Rashford, Brandon Williams and Judd Trump, before making his way to the Bonbonniere bar later in the evening. He ended up in a brawl outside Fabrica and was arrested. Two other men, aged 28 and 29, were also detained. They are expected to appear in court later today on the nearby island of Syros

Police today said that two groups of Englishmen were brawling outside Mykonos' Fabrica bar in the early hours of Friday morning and when they tried to intervene they were rounded on by three men, including the centre-half.

'When the brawl was all sorted out, one of the two groups - with the football players - started verbally abusing officers. There were several policemen there. At some point, one of the three members of the group - they were aged 27, 28, and 29 - threw a swing at one of the policemen and a fight ensued.' Petros Vassilakis a police spokesman said. 

'All of the three were arrested but during the effort to do so, the other two, including the football player, got violent also. They threw down at least two policemen, hit them with their fists and kicked them.' The police spokesman continued.

'I can't tell you what they were telling us. All English swear words against the authorities and against the work of the police. All three, including the football player, are being held in custody, locked up in Mykonos cell. They will appear before a state prosecutor on the island of Syros later today to be charged with aggravated assault.'   

Maguire, who earns £190,000-a-week plans to cut short his holiday and return to the UK, according to a source at Manchester United.

Lawyers for the club have been in contact with their player and they are awaiting clarification from police on the island over what charges he might face.

'We are expecting more information from Mykonos as clarification is needed over exactly what happened and what charges he will face, if any.' The lawyers said.

Manchester United said in a statement: 'The club is aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night. 

'Contact has been made with Harry, and he is fully co-operating with the Greek authorities.

'At this time we will be making no further comment.'

Footage posted on a Greek website shows Maguire last night chatting with fans in the Matogiannia area of Mykonos town. 

Britons were singing his name in the street and posing for selfies with the soccer ace before things went awry.

His girlfriend Fern Hawkins posted an Instagram picture last night with the caption: 'Holidays with you ... ♥️'. She has since made her profile private.

United players are taking time off after their Europa League exertions earlier this month before the resumption of the Premier League at the end of September. 

The club were eliminated by Spanish side Sevilla last Sunday. Had they won that fixture they would be up against Inter Milan in the final tonight in Germany.

Maguire said he was 'devastated' by the semi-final exit against the Spanish side last week.

He added: 'We deserved to go through but ultimately we fell short at the semi-final stage, for the third time this season.

On Thursday, Chris Hughes shared pictures of himself with a cut above his eye which was sustained on a night out for Judd Trump's birthday on Wednesday. 'I look hard,' he joked

'It means a lot to us, the boys are devastated. We have a good group of lads who know what it means to play for this club and losing isn't acceptable. Getting to semi-finals isn't acceptable and we now have to look at taking it another step.

'Maybe that little bit of inexperience cost us in the end. Even when we are on top, creating chances we shouldn't concede that second goal.

'They worked it well down the right but we have to do better. We conceded from two crosses and it's not good enough.'

Maguire is next due to play at Old Trafford for their first game of the season on September 19 against Crystal Palace.
