A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: "A man from Salford has been charged with three offences after police were called to reports of a disturbance in the Worsley area in November 2020.
"Ryan Giggs has been charged with causing actual bodily harm to a woman in her 30s and common assault of a woman in her 20s.
"Both counts relate to an incident on the evening of Sunday 1 November 2020."

Giggs has not managed Wales since since his arrest and denied the charges against him at the time.
Wales confirmed on Friday afternoon that Giggs will not be in charge of Wales at this summer's European Championships, with Robert Page continuing in his role.
Giggs is on bail at the time of writing.
