Ryan Giggs charged with assaulting two women including ex-girlfriend

Wales manager and ex-Manchester United player Ryan Giggs has been charged with assaulting his former girlfriend.

He is accused of causing actual bodily harm to Kate Greville, 36, and common assault of a woman in her 20s – understood to be her sister – at his home in Salford last November.

Giggs, of Worsley, is also charged with coercive or controlling behaviour, reports the BBC.

He has been bailed to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on April 28.

Giggs, 47, said in a statement he would plead not guilty to the charges in court.

Greater Manchester Police said officers were called at 22:05 GMT on  November 1 to reports of a disturbance at an address in Worsley.

The force said a woman in her 30s was treated for minor injuries at the scene.

Giggs is also accused of coercive or controlling behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) has confirmed assistant manager Robert Page will take charge of Wales at this summer’s European Championships.

The FAW said there would be a board meeting to “discuss the developments and its impact on the association and the national team”.

In a statement, Giggs said: “I would like to wish Robert Page, the coaching staff, the players and the supporters every success at the Euros this summer.”

The former Manchester United winger is one of British football’s most-decorated footballers following his 24-year career at Old Trafford and was appointed an OBE in 2007 before winning the BBC’s Sports Personality of the Year in 2009.

He also won 64 caps for Wales between 1991 and 2007 and was appointed national manager in January 2018, leading them to qualification for Euro 2020, which has been re-scheduled because of COVID-19.

He is also co-owner of League Two side Salford City.
