LONDON (Reuters) - Manchester United captain Harry Maguire told the BBC on Thursday that he feared for his life and thought he was being kidnapped as he was arrested by plainclothes police officers following a fracas on the Greek island of Mykonos. He received a suspended prison sentence of 21 months and 10 days, but Manchester United said on Wednesday that Maguire had been granted a full retrial after appealing against the verdict. It's the first time I'd ever been inside a prison," Maguire said of his two nights in custody. He was hitting my legs and saying my career is over, no more football, you won't play again," a visibly shaken Maguire said. I play for one of the biggest clubs in the world so I regret putting the fans and the club through this."
