Ferguson had travelled by train to London yesterday afternoon and was allegedly attacked by a man at Euston station.

Ferguson was said to have sustained kicks to the shin and alerted British Transport Police at the station, who subsequently made an arrest.

The Manchester United manager was not badly hurt and attended a function in the capital as planned.

A 40-year-old man has been charged with one count of ABH, one count of assault and one public order offence over the alleged incident.
