It comes after police were called to reports of a disturbance in Worsley, Greater Manchester in November last year.

"Disturbance"

A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson 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."

The 47-year-old is currently on bail and is due in court on Wednesday.

The Football Association of Wales (FAW) said Robert Page will take charge of Wales' national team at this summer's Euro 2020 tournament.

Page took over as caretaker boss following Giggs’ original arrest. He took charge of the team for fixtures in November 2020 and March 2021.
