Yes they are.

I can believe money was offered, but by whom?
If this took place in an English seaside town, I'd agree with the point you're making. But it occurred in a foreign country, which changes things a bit. Your skin colour becomes irrelevant if police know you're a foreigner, which they probably presume in a resort town like Mykonos.
While we should wait for more information, we have plenty of evidence that police everywhere frequently respond to any resistance or questioning with a heavy hand. We do not have any evidence to suggest Harry Maguire would start beating up cops. Based on this, I'm happy to give him the benefit of the doubt and not nail him to the wall as some posters are doing.
Ed quick off the mark redirecting some of the Sancho money??
Yeah. I usually agree with sentiments about young players deserving the chance to socialise and mix etc, they are people after all. But when all we've been hearing is about how exhausted our players seem to be more than most, surely he might have considered a different type of break than a crowded spot where we can assume he's been having a fair few. 3 weeks until new season. I always find myself contrasting to what Ronaldo, for example, might be doing
I’ve already pinged it on a couple of WhatsApp groups too
I did say I lifted from the Caf!
I hope I'm credited! There's more where that came from
To resist the Rhyme Animal is futile I tell you.
I repeat myself. If he made the right judgement and stayed in UK in this pandemic time, nothing would have happened. As if UK don't have nice places you can have your vacation.
The news coming out from various sites about what might have happened is even worse than what I thought. And IF it is correct I stand by taking captains armband from him and that club wouldn't be wrong to discuss his future.

Sounds like a lot of holes in that story. You dont swing for a police officer and then be asked to follow them to the police station in a taxi. I still reckon everybody involved knew exactly who he was and sniffed an opportunity.
Greek authorities are as corrupt as anywhere in the world. He'll be out as soon as some expensive lawyers grease the right palms.
As much as no one should be making presumptions on Maguire’s guilt, isn’t it equally unfair to do so for the Greek authorities?
Hard to tell there. Looks like he’s holding someone on the ground and someone starts kicking him? Not much of a fight really.
Hopefully the person filming in portrait mode got arrested as well.
I’ll never understand why some people get violent and aggressive when drinking AND continue to do it. I’m not saying Maguire is one of these, but clearly some of these idiots are.
It’s supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable, guys.

Yeah not automatically assuming Maguire is without guilt but the Greek police version of the story seems prepped to be sold to tabloids. That's not how a professional police force would report on an incident.
That s all?
Greece is not on the restricted list, and he was within his right to go there.
Are you fecking serious?
I doubt you even have a clue about the matthew simmons incident yet you say he kicked him in the face...
Is that Harry in the short skirt?
They all look too pissed to fight.
Yeah, totally.
I cant understand how adults in his age engage in such a childish act! what is he 15 years old? He should be fined at least 4 weeks salary.
I watched it twice and can't even see if Maguire is even in that clip, let alone what he's done.
Identified. As in established their identity.
Found the guy who never has played FM.
Maguire is the one wearing the white shirt and light brown shorts.
Maguire wasn't wearing a white shirt that night
I agree - that looked like a typical corner when Matteo Darmien was playing for us...
End the contract and bring someone in for 100 million. Ed Woodward logic!
I am not saying Maguire is innocent - but I would feel more convinced of his guilt if this had been the police in another country than Greece.
Don’t think that’s him then. Maguire was wearing a white shirt and black shorts
Maybe wanted some guaranteed sunshine as well. Going on holiday is the least problematic part of this story.
Maguire is the one recording it.
Oh Harry. What a silly thing to do as a captain. Pogba is trending in relation to this too
Wtf??Exactly. He won’t have been following his pre-season training plan and diet today or tomorrow for sure. Ronaldo is a great example of total dedication to his career, but you can add most Raiola clients there too.
Like I said, we have more evidence to support the notion that the police were either heavy handed or are embellishing their account of events. We have no evidence that suggests Harry Maguire is going to start swinging at cops for no reason.
Happy to wait for the truth to come out but in the meantime I'll give the benefit of the doubt to the person who has maintained an otherwise squeaky clean image versus police in the second most corrupt country in the EU.
The lighter shirt and the brown shorts
What evidence is that? That a Greek police have a reputation for corruption? That’s as relevant as the fact that Brits have a reputation for violence abroad. Surely each isolated incident should be judged on its on merits. This thread smells like hypocrisy.
Manchester United are said to be preparing a second bribe
Seriously? After all the BLM protests and defund the police now we’re having sympathy for one of the most corrupt police forces on the European continent over one of our own players? Redcafe is a weird place.
