Harry Maguire arrested after trying to protect sister from Albanian ‘gangster’
HARRY Maguire was arrested after trying to help his sister who had been stabbed in the arm by a “gangster-style” Albanian businessman.
Sources last night said the Manchester United ace was with partner Fern in a bar in Mykonos on Thursday when his sister Daisy was approached by a group of Albanian men.
One of the men — described by sources as “gangster types” — started chatting up Daisy.
And when she turned him down, she was jabbed in the arm with a sharp metal straw, drawing blood and causing her to faint.
Furious Harry then stepped in before a fight broke out.
A source said: “Harry saw what was happening and remonstrated with them and things got heated.
“He decided to try to get out of there and wanted to hail a taxi. But he ended up arguing with some undercover police officers and ended up at the local police station.”
Maguire, 27, spent the rest of the night in a detention room at Mykonos police station, where he charmed cops by chatting with them about footie.
They brought the United captain snacks until he was taken on a ferry to neighbouring Syros at 2pm on Friday.
He spent the night in a cell there where he signed autographs for officers and chatted about United and England.

The £190,000-a-week footballer was then bailed and told he could leave the country after he denied a string of charges for assault, verbal abuse and bribery on Saturday.
Maguire does not have to attend his trial in Syros on Tuesday where the maximum sentence could be three years in jail.
The Sun understands the star could instead receive a suspended sentence.
