Police said the three men would appear before a prosecutor on the nearby island of Syros later on Friday.
“The soccer player was verbally abusive to an officer and then hit him,” a police official said.
“The three were resisting when brought to the Mykonos police station.”
Maguire and the two other detainees will be transported to Syros by ship where they will face charges by a public prosecutor, the police official added.
Manchester United said in a statement: “The club is aware of an alleged incident involving Harry Maguire in Mykonos last night.
“At this time we will be making no further comment.”
Maguire’s fiancee, Fern Hawkins, posted a picture of the pair in Mykonos on her Instagram page on Thursday night.
The couple have two baby daughters, the youngest of which was born in May.
Maguire was also joined on the Greek island holiday by his brothers and sister.
Along with the rest of United’s squad, Maguire had been given two weeks off following the side’s semi-final defeat to Sevilla in the Europa League on Sunday.
The club’s next competitive fixture is scheduled for 19 September, when they are due to open their 2020/21 Premier League campaign against Crystal Palace.
