Dane Rashford: Football agent arrested in US on domestic violence charge

The United striker is managed by another brother, Dwaine Maynard, who is also a registered FA intermediary and was named on the official FA documents for Marcus’ last two contracts with the club. Dwaine is also a director of DN May Sports Management. 

Dane was pictured in official police arrest photographs and has been issued by the court in the state of Florida with a pre-trial “stay away order” allegedly permitting no contact.

Court documents in Florida say that the bond was paid by Chantelle Maynard one week after his arrest. He has been bailed and is no longer in prison. He has pleaded not guilty and will face a further hearing on Nov 27.

Dane Rashford declined to comment on the details of the case. Manchester United declined to comment. It is understood that the Rashford family believes the matter to be resolved.

Speaking to Telegraph Sport, Daysi Vega-Mendez, assistant state prosecutor for Miami Dade County said: “The case is still active, at the moment I haven’t been able to get hold of the victim. Our office is trying to get hold of the UK Embassy because we need permission to speak to the victim.

“I am not sure whether they are still in the United States or if they have left the country. I understand they were on vacation. Technically once you are charged you are not supposed to leave the country. When a person is given a bond if they leave, they surrender that bond.

“At the moment the case is still active and listed for an arraignment hearing on Nov 27.”
