HARRY Maguire was kicked by a cop who told him "your career is over" after a brawl in Mykonos sparked when his sister was stabbed, a court heard today.

The Manchester United captain was arrested along with his brother Joe and pal Chris Sharman on Thursday morning after a fight erupted in the street.

Maguire's top human rights lawyer Alexis Anagnostakis told the trial in Syros today how the England defender was "attacked by an Albanian group".

The lawyer said Maguire's younger sister Daisy was stabbed in the arm - causing her to pass out.

Maguire and his group asked to be taken to hospital after the incident, but were driven to a police station instead, where officers allegedly kicked Maguire on the leg and told him: "Your career is over".

He added: "My clients did not beat anyone, accost anyone, or injure anyone."

The court heard how once at the police station, Maguire said: "Do you know who I am? I am the captain of Manchester United, I am very rich, I can give you money, I can pay you, please let us go.”

One of his group also allegedly yelled "f**k, f**k the police" before punching an officer.

None of the defendants were required to attend court and were instead represented by their legal team.

Only Maguire's Dad Alan was present in the court on the Greek island of Syros to watch proceedings.

Utd captain Maguire, 27, footballer brother Joe, 28, and pal Chris Sharman are all charged with assault and violence against an officer.

The brothers are further charged with attempted bribery, while Maguire and Chris are accused of verbal assault.

They deny the charges.

The bribery charges carry a maximum sentence of up to five years in jail and a fine.

But the group are able to appeal the decision in a higher court if they are found guilty today.

They had been partying in a swanky nightclub in Mykonos when sister Daisy was approached by a group of Albanian men.

But she was allegedly stabbed in the arm with a metal straw when she spurned the advances of the “gangster types”.

The jab drew blood and caused her to faint - with big brother Harry stepping in to defend her when a fight broke out.

A source said: “Harry saw what was happening and remonstrated with them and things got heated.

“He decided to try to get out of there and wanted to hail a taxi. But he ended up arguing with some undercover police officers and ended up at the local police station.”

When plain-clothed police came to break it up, the Utd captain was allegedly "verbally abusive to an officer and then hit him".

The £85million centre-back was arrested with Joe and Chris after a fight outside a bar on the Greek island in the early hours of Friday morning.

He spent two nights in a cell with Joe and Chris before appearing before a court on Saturday in Syros.

Maguire is now understood to have travelled back to the UK.

His sister Daisy was yesterday pictured arriving back in England wheeling a suitcase.

Brother Laurence Maguire was also pictured at the home in England as his brothers Harry and Joe await their fate in a Greek court.

Sheffield-born Maguire became the world's most expensive defender when he signed for Utd from Leicester City for £85million in August last year.

He was named captain in January this year following Ashley Young's departure to Inter Milan.
