A press report says Manchester United defender Harry Maguire is accused of grabbing Roma player Santiago Castro in a sensitive area during the teams’ Champions League meeting. The incident came in a match in which United turned a two-goal deficit into a three-goal victory after a start described by the source as disastrous.
According to The Sun’s account cited in the report, the scuffle began when Maguire challenged Castro for the ball. The Roma player then appeared to grab the United defender by the neck, before Maguire retaliated by grabbing him lower down and pulling him to the ground.
The footage circulating online angered Roma fans, who criticised the referee for not sending Maguire off, claiming he had grabbed Castro’s genitals. The report noted that the team’s coach, Gian Piero Gasperini, did not address the incident after the match.
