David Moyes is under investigation by police for an alleged assault at a wine bar.

Moyes was fired last month as manager of Manchester United.

In a statement Lancashire police said: “Police are investigating a report of an assault at the Emporium wine bar in Clitheroe.

“Officers attended the bar at about 10pm on Wednesday and it was reported that a 23-year-old local man had been assaulted by a 51-year-old man. He did not require hospital treatment.

“Inquiries are ongoing and we are speaking to a number of people to try to establish the circumstances.

“There are a number of differing accounts, which we need to work through to try to establish exactly what has happened. No one has been arrested at this stage.”
