Manchester United captain Harry Maguire was handed a suspended sentence by a Greek court Tuesday after he was found guilty on four counts following a brawl on the island of Mykonos Thursday, a source said.

British media reported he had been found guilty of repeated bodily harm, attempted bribery, violence against public employees and insult after his arrest in Mykonos.

The 27-year old England international was one of three people arrested Thursday after an altercation with police.

Maguire was arrested, along with brother Joe and friend Christopher Sharman, Thursday night after a brawl in which two police officers were allegedly assaulted in Mykonos.

Joe Maguire was found guilty of repeated bodily harm, violence against public employees and attempted bribery.

Sharman was found guilty of insult, repeated bodily harm and violence against public employees.

All three men had denied the charges against them.

United captain Maguire, who was released from custody over the weekend, was not present at the trial before a judge on the nearby island of Syros Tuesday.

As the trial went ahead, England coach Gareth Southgate selected Maguire in his squad for next month's Nations League matches against Iceland and Denmark.

Maguire is being represented by Greek human rights lawyer Alexis Anagnostakis, whose request for an adjournment was rejected.

Anagnostakis told the court that two Albanian men had approached Maguire's sister Daisy - who fainted immediately after being injected with an unknown substance.

The defendants asked to be driven to a hospital, but were instead taken to a police station, he added.

A police witness for the prosecution told the court that Maguire attempted to bribe his way out of the situation.

Former Leicester City player Maguire's ill-fated trip to the popular Greek holiday island followed his club's semi-final defeat by Sevilla in the Europa League in Cologne.
