Former Welsh coach and Manchester United player Ryan Giggs leaves Manchester Crown Court, Manchester, Britain 31 August 2022. Giggs is facing a potential retrial after the jury failed to reach a verdict in his domestic violence trial

Ryan Giggs will find out today whether he will be forced to endure a retrial over allegations he headbutted his former partner during a drunken dispute.

The disgraced ex-Manchester United player and Wales coach, 48, is accused of assaulting Kate Greville, 38, and her 26-year-old sister Emma amid a booze-fuelled argument at Giggs’ multi-million pound home in Worsley.

He also stands accused of coercive and controlling behaviour towards PR executive Greville over three years – charges which he denies.

Giggs’ case had already been examined at Manchester Crown Court throughout the month of August but the trial collapsed after the jury failed to reach a verdict after 20 hours of deliberations.  

But new court proceedings would be delayed until at least June of next year, meaning the former Man Utd winger faces an agonising wait in the event a retrial is ordered.

After close to an entire day of deliberation, the seven women and four men on the jury at Manchester Crown Court were discharged after failing to reach a verdict on August 31. 

There were only 11 jurors because one became ill and was discharged. 

The hearing, which lasted 17 days, is estimated to have cost the taxpayer more than £100,000.

The former footballer dropped his head and appeared crestfallen when an earliest provisional retrial date of June 5 was relayed to the court. 

Giggs’ mother, Lynne, who has supported her son throughout and looked on from the public gallery, held her head in her hands.

Outside court she said her son’s life was ‘on hold’.

The trial laid bare the personal and sex life of one of the Premier League’s most decorated stars.

Intimate messages between Giggs and Miss Greville – including toe-curling poetry and details of their ‘rough’ sex – were read to the jury, who also heard about their lockdown rows over the dishwasher.

Embarrassing revelations about how Giggs allegedly cheated on former public schoolgirl Miss Greville with up to 12 women – while at the same time professing his undying love for her and his desire to start a family with her – were also relayed to the court.

During three days of testimony Giggs admitted being a liar and a cheat who could not resist an attractive woman, and accepted he had never been faithful to any romantic partner in his life.

He broke down and sobbed in court as he recounted how spending the night in the cells following his arrest was the ‘worst experience of my life’.

The former Wales manager was accused of controlling and coercing Miss Greville.

When she announced she was leaving him, on November 1, 2020, Giggs allegedly headbutted her at his mansion in Worsley, Greater Manchester. 

He was also accused of assaulting her sister, Emma, 26, who was at the property looking after the couple’s puppy. 

Giggs denied one count of controlling and coercive behaviour and two offences of assault.
