[Mr Fraser]

So why does he have a court case in February?

Think your post answers the question

Much as I love making the bastards squirm Maguire is not a convicted criminal.
His appeal and retrial quashed the previous verdict under Greek law.

OK I stand corrected. Harry the previoulsy convicted but now awaiting retrial and therefore technically innocent Maguire still plays for England.
It's a bit long winded, maybe that's why the press don't mention it.

Greek procedure.
He is charged but his previous conviction was quashed on appeal.
You either knew that or havent followed the incident at all.

Harry Maguire's retrial will be held on 7 February 2024 - three and a half years after he was arrested following an incident on the island of Mykonos.

The Manchester United captain was convicted of assaulting a police officer and attempted bribery by a court on the island of Syros in August 2020.

The England defender, 30, was handed a suspended 21-month sentence.

His legal team appealed, at which point he was deemed innocent until proven guilty under Greek law.

The retrial was reportedly set to take place earlier this month, until Maguire's legal team asked for it to be put back.

Maguire, who was on a family holiday at the time of the incident, does not have to attend the retrial in Greece and he is not expected to appear given the proposed date will be in the middle of the 2023-24 season.

They're hoping to raise a £260m war chest by selling players who are surplus, underperformed, don't fit in with the big plan, fringe players , loanees and academy players.
This will help them in theirquest to land Kane, Mbappe, Neymar etc. etc.

Nearly had me, use a winky face thing next time ;-)
