Football legend George Best has been arrested and bailed on suspicion of indecently assaulting a young girl.
The former Manchester United and Northern Ireland star, 59, is alleged to have attacked the girl, who is aged under 13, last month in Surrey.
A spokeswoman for Surrey Police said: "We have received an allegation of indecent assault against a 59-year-old man who was arrested on 9 June."
Mr Best was also held on that date over an allegation he assaulted a woman.
The spokeswoman added the force was not prepared to discuss any further details of the investigation.
Mr Best was arrested on suspicion of assault occasioning actual bodily harm against a 34-year-old woman.
The attack is alleged to have happened in Ewell, Surrey.
It has now emerged he was also questioned about the indecent assault claim.
Speaking on 9 June, Mr Best's agent Phil Hughes said he "categorically" denied attacking the woman.
Mr Hughes was not available to respond to the latest allegation. Mr Best was questioned for nine hours at Staines police station before being freed on police bail. He is due to return to a police station in Surrey for further questioning on 6 July.
