Harry Maguire appeared in court in Greece after being arrested for his alleged involvement in a fight outside a bar in Mykonos.
The Manchester United captain was detained with two other Britons after an alleged altercation with other holiday-goers and police officers outside a bar in the early hours of Friday morning.
When asked by Sky News whether Maguire was still a free man, his lawyer replied: “Right now, yes.”
It’s not clear whether the England international is allowed to leave Greek soil, however.
The 27-year-old centre-back is currently on holiday with partner Fern Hawkins, with United players taking a period of time off after their Europa League exertions earlier this month, before returning for pre-season.
However, the holiday took a turn for the worse when he got involved in a row.
A statement released by the Hellenic Police’s South Aegean region press office on Friday afternoon read: “Patrolling police officers in the area of Mykonos intervened and normalised a dispute between citizens.
“However, three foreigners involved in the incident turned against them, insulting and hitting a police officer with fists.
“The three foreigners were taken to the Mykonos Police Station, where upon their arrival they strongly resisted, pushing and beating three police officers.
“One of the detainees then tried to offer money so that the trial against them would not be completed. The arrested (men) were taken to the Syros Prosecutor’s Office.”
Man United are due to play their first match of the 2020/21 season when they face Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on September 19.
