Ryan Giggs has arrived at Minshull Street Crown Court ahead of the first day of his trial.
The former Manchester United player is accused of causing actual bodily harm as well as using coercive behaviour towards former partner Kate Greville, 37, between April 2017 and November 2020. He has also faced allegations of assaulting his ex’s sister - all of which he denies.
The trial had been adjourned for almost seven months owing to a backlog of cases at the court. It is expected to last two weeks. In late June Giggs confirmed that he would be stepping down as Wales manager after the national team qualified for the World Cup for the first time since 1958 under caretaker Rob Page.
