Wales manager Ryan Giggs has been charged with three offences after an incident in November last year

The Man United legend has been charged with causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s, as well as one count of coercive and controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020. However, Giggs has denied all three charges.

The former Manchester United winger, 47, has been bailed and is due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on April 28.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has confirmed Robert Page, who took temporary charge following Giggs’ arrest in November, will assume the role of national team manager for this summer’s delayed European Championships.

In a statement released on Friday, Greater Manchester Police said: “A man from Salford has been charged with three offences after police were called to reports of a disturbance in the Worsley area in November 2020.

“Ryan Giggs has been charged with causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s. Both counts relate to an incident on the evening of Sunday 1 November 2020.

“Giggs, of Worsley, has also been charged with one count of coercive and controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.

“He has been bailed and is due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on Wednesday 28 April 2021.”

Giggs said in a statement that he was innocent of the charges and looked forward to clearing his name.

“I have full respect for the due process of law and understand the seriousness of the allegations,” Giggs said. “I will plead not guilty in court and look forward to clearing my name.
