A neighbour of Ryan Giggs told him 'oh Ryan, not this again' after she was informed of allegations that he'd been seeing other women. The former Manchester United star, 48, is on trial accused of headbutting his ex-girlfriend Kate Greville, elbowing her sister Emma on the same date and of behaving in a controlling and coercive manner towards his former partner between August 2017 and November 2020.

He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is standing trial at Manchester Crown Court. On the sixth day of the trial, Emma Greville gave evidence and denied that the alleged headbutt was 'accidental'.

Asked why, she said: "The way he grabbed her (Kate's) shoulders, headbutted her and told me he would headbutt me next, for me is not an accident." She added: "Never did he apologise to me or my sister, when she was on the floor screaming." Defending, Chris Daw QC had put it to her that it was an accidental 'clash of heads' during a 'scuffle' in the kitchen of Mr Giggs' Swinton home.

Jurors have heard that Mr Giggs and Kate Greville had been at the Stock Exchange hotel in Manchester, on the evening of November 1, 2020. Ms Greville returned to the property, shortly followed by Mr Giggs, following an argument after Ms Greville claimed to have evidence that he'd been unfaithful during their relationship. The alleged headbutt to Kate Greville and claimed elbow to Emma Greville are said to have occurred that evening at Mr Giggs' home after returning from the hotel, which Mr Giggs part owns.

Mr Giggs' neighbour Linda Cheung, a forensic accountant, said that they had been neighbours for about 20 years. Mrs Cheung said
