talkSPORT understands Maguire will still feature in the Red Devils’ Premier League clash against Newcastle tonight, having not been involved in today’s legal process.

The 32-year-old was arrested while on a family holiday in Mykonos in 2020 and the incident has been through a number of retrials.

Sources close to Maguire claim he has rejected multiple opportunities to reach a financial settlement.

The England defender remains determined to clear his name and will appeal to the Supreme Court.

Maguire’s trial finally took place almost six years after his arrest, for which he was handed a 21-month suspended sentence.

He was initially found guilty of aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and attempted bribery.

The conviction was automatically quashed on appeal under Greek law, and a retrial has been postponed four times.
