Manchester United captain Harry Maguire has pleaded not guilty and been released from police custody following his arrest on the island of Mykonos.

A court date for the 27-year-old has been set for Tuesday but Maguire can be represented by his lawyer and will now return home.

The England defender did not comment after leaving court on Saturday and his lawyer told Sky he was a free man "right now".

Maguire was on holiday in Greece.

A United statement said: "Following the appearance in court today we note the adjournment of the case to allow the legal team to consider the case file.

"Harry has pleaded not guilty to the charges. It would be inappropriate for the player or club to comment further while the legal process takes its course."

It is not clear what specific charges Maguire faces.
