Wales boss and ex-Manchester United player Ryan Giggs will go on trial in January accused of headbutting his ex-girlfriend and controlling her.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Giggs, 47, allegedly assaulted Kate Greville, 36, and caused her actual bodily harm at his home in Greater Manchester on 1 November last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He is also accused of controlling and coercive behaviour between December 2017 and November 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He will face trial at Manchester Crown Court on 24 January.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Giggs appeared at the court on Friday during a short hearing where he confirmed his identity and the date was set. He was told the trial could last three weeks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He will also attend a plea and trial preparation hearing on 23 July.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

The court was told that the crown was yet to “particularise the indictment” in relation to the accusation of controlling and coercive behaviour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Giggs, who is accused of using violence, isolation, belittling, humiliation, harassment, degradation and abuse, previously issued a statement saying he would “look forward to clearing my name”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He has also been charged with common assault by beating of Ms Greville’s younger sister, Emma Greville, in the alleged same incident, which he also denies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

His honour judge Nicholas Dean QC, honorary recorder of Manchester, said there were three weeks available for the trial but added: “I very much hope that this case will not last that amount of time, but that’ll be discussed further on the next occasion this case is listed.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Mr Giggs was bailed until his court appearance in July.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
