A former Manchester United midfielder, who was part of the treble-winning squad in 1999, has been cautioned by police.
Nicky Butt, who played 387 games for the Red Devils between 1992 and 2004, allegedly head-butted a security guard at his 50th birthday party, according to The Sun.
The guard reportedly suffered a broken nose after a row broke out between the two, resulting in the attack.
Butt was charged with actual bodily harm and accepted the criminal sanction last month, also agreeing to donate to charity.
According to The Sun, a source said: “There was blood everywhere. People were shocked as the guard came inside with his face a mess. It ruined a lovely day.”
David and Victoria Beckham, Paul Scholes, and Gary Neville were also reportedly in attendance at the party, which took place in Oxfordshire.
Butt made his way through the Manchester United academy, eventually making his debut in 1992.
He would go on to star for Sir Alex Ferguson’s iconic teams, starting in the Champions League final in 1999, where United scored two goals in stoppage time to beat Bayern Munich.
Butt would leave Manchester United in 2004, having won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups, the Champions League and the Intercontinental Cup.
He would go on to play for Newcastle United, Birmingham City, and South China Athletic Association, a club based in Hong Kong, until his retirement in 2011.
Butt would return to Old Trafford in 2012, taking on various roles in the academy, before his second departure in 2021.
In 2014, it was announced that the Englishman would be one of the former Manchester United players purchasing non-league club Salford City.
The club have rose through the ranks under the guise of new ownership, now playing their football in League Two.
He would become chief executive officer in 2022, but would later step down to pursue coaching opportunities.
