HARRY Maguire will finally get a court date for his Greek holiday assault case — but will not be able to clear his name until 2023.

It means the 29-year-old will be free to focus on the start to United’s Premier League season and the World Cup in Qatar in November and December.
But it leaves him waiting for nearly three years to clear his name over the bust-up, which also involved his brother Joe and sister Daisy.
