MANTAN manajer Manchester United, David Moyes diperiksa polisi atas dugaan ia menyerang pengunjung di luar sebuah bar anggur kelas atas setelah mengejeknya karena dipecat.
Pria usia 51 tahun, yang menggantikan Sir Alex Ferguson sebagai bos di Old Trafford tetapi hanya berlangsung sembilan bulan, rupanya dia tersinggung setelah diejek di kafe di The Emporium, di Clitheroe.
Korban adalah remaja usia 23 tahun bernama Joshua Gillibrand, seperti dilansir Mail Online.
Moyes disebut gusar ketika salah satu tamu kafe mengejeknya tentang pemecatannya baru-baru ini dan menyebutnya 's *** karena memiliki segalanya tapi gagal meraih gelar,' kata seorang saksi mata.
Pria usia 51 tahun itu dipecat oleh Manchester United pada April setelah bencana musim pertama di Old Trafford yang gagal mempertahankan gelar juara Liga Premier Inggris dan gagal meraih trofi.
Dalam keributan tersebut, meja hampir terbalik dan gelas minuman beterbangan dalam pertengkaran di dekat pintu masuk bar.
Gillibrand, sang remaja, diduga terluka di kepala dan bahu memar dalam pertengkaran tersebut tetapi tidak perlu menjalani perawatan di rumah sakit.
Polisi hari ini menegaskan bahwa mereka tengah melakukan penyelidikan terhadap keributan tersebut dan akan segera memanggil mantan pelatih Everton tersebut.
Insiden itu terjadi sekitar pukul 22:00 pada Rabu, setelah Moyes dan teman - termasuk Derek Shaw, Presiden Preston FC dan Moyes menjadi manajer di sana - menikmati makan di Piccolino di Clitheroe sebelum menyeberang jalan dan singgah untuk minum di Emporium.
FORMER Manchester United manager David Moyes is to be questioned by police over claims he attacked a reveller outside an upmarket wine bar after being taunted about losing his job.
The 51-year-old, who succeeded Sir Alex Ferguson as boss at Old Trafford but only lasted nine months, apparently snapped after receiving a torrent of abuse at The Emporium, in Clitheroe.
The alleged victim is 23-year-old joiner Joshua Gillibrand.
Moyes is said to have been enraged when one drinker goaded him about his recent sacking and called him 's*** and something about having never won anything', a witness said.
The 51-year-old was sacked by United in April after a disastrous first season at Old Trafford which saw United surrender their Premier League title and fail to win a trophy.
In the resulting furore, a table was almost upturned and glasses sent smashing on the floor during a brief scuffle near the bar entrance.
Mr Gillibrand, a joiner, allegedly suffered a lump on the side of his head and a bruised shoulder in the confrontation but did not need hospital treatment.
Police today confirmed they had launched an investigation into the fracas and were set to speak to the ex-Everton boss.
The incident happened at around 10pm on Wednesday after Moyes and friends – including Derek Shaw, the chairman of Preston FC while Moyes was manager there - had enjoyed a meal at Piccolino in Clitheroe before crossing the road and making their way to the nearby Emporium wine bar.
