Wales manager Ryan Giggs has denied an allegation of assault made against him, BBC reported Tuesday, after British media reported late on Monday that the Welshman has been arrested on suspicion of assault.

His representatives said he denies all allegations of assault made against him and is cooperating with the police.

A statement released on behalf of Giggs said, "He is cooperating with the police and will continue to assist them with their ongoing investigation."

The Football Association of Wales issued a statement saying, "The FAW is aware of an alleged incident involving the National Team Manager, Ryan Giggs. The FAW will be making no further comment at this current time."

The Sun newspaper said police were called to the 46-year-old Giggs's home late on Sunday after reports of a disturbance.

Giggs was arrested and questioned on suspicion of actual bodily harm and assault, the newspaper said.

The Sun quoted a statement from Greater Manchester Police as saying, "Police were called at 10:05 pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance. A woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries but did not require any treatment.

"A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 47 assault and section 39 common assault."

He was released on bail pending enquiries, the paper said. Greater Manchester Police were not immediately available for comment.

Wales have canceled Tuesday's press conference when Giggs was due to name his squad for the friendly against the USA, and Nations League fixtures with the Republic of Ireland and Finland later this month.

Giggs was appointed Wales manager in January 2018 after a stellar playing career in which he won 13 Premier League titles, two Champions Leagues, four FA Cups and three League Cups with Manchester United, and was capped 64 times for Wales.
