Wales manager Giggs denies assault allegations

Wales manager and former Manchester United player, Ryan Giggs has described as untrue and misrepresentation of facts “all allegations of assault” of his girlfriend Kate Greville after being arrested following reports of a disturbance at his home on Sunday.

A statement released by Rigg’s representative said the 46-year-old was co-operating with police.

“Mr Giggs denies all allegations of assault made against him,” it read.

“He is cooperating with the police and will continue to assist them with their ongoing investigations.”

The Sun newspaper said police were called to Giggs’s home late on Sunday and he was arrested and questioned on suspicion of actual bodily harm and assault.

The Football Association of Wales issued a statement saying it was “aware of an alleged incident involving the National Team Manager, Ryan Giggs. The FAW will be making no further comment at this current time.”

The Sun quoted a statement from Greater Manchester Police as saying: “Police were called at 10.05 pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance. A woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries but did not require any treatment.

“A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 47 assault and section 39 common assault.”

It was learnt that the FAW canceled a press conference scheduled for Tuesday, where Giggs had been due to name his squad for the friendly against the United States, and Nations League fixtures with the Republic of Ireland and Finland later this month.
