Former Manchester United footballer Ryan Giggs coercively controlled and gaslit his girlfriend in a relationship “punctuated by acts of violence”, a court has been told. The 48-year-old is accused of headbutting former lover Kate Greville and elbowing her younger sister Emma in the jaw during a violent final confrontation at the end of the “toxic, damaging” relationship. Giggs, the ex-Wales national manager, faces claims he threw Ms Greville out of the home they shared in Greater Manchester, bombarded her with messages when she ignored him, and once told her in a foul-mouthed message: “I’m scaring myself, I could do anything”.
