Wales manager Ryan Giggs has been charged with three offences after an incident in November last year.
Giggs 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.
The former Manchester United winger, 47, has been bailed and is due to appear at Manchester and Salford Magistrates’ Court on April 28.
In a statement 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 (29/11/1973) 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.
