Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs is to face a retrial next year on domestic violence charges, a judge has ruled during a hearing this morning at Manchester Crown Court.
The new trial date was set for 31 July, 2023.
The decision to grant a retrial comes following a jury failing to reach verdicts last week after a four-week Manchester Crown Court trial where Mr Giggs faced allegations of domestic abuse against former partner Kate Greville.
Ms Giggs, 48, had denied controlling or coercive behaviour over a three-year period towards Ms Greville, 38.
He also denied "losing control" and headbutting her and assaulting Ms Greville's sister, Emma, by elbowing her in the jaw, during a row at his home in Worsley, Greater Manchester on 1 November, 2020.
