“Last night our family’s worst nightmare was realized when our home was broken into and burglarized while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom.

Manchester United reacting to the development said that they are going to review the security of their players and ensure that future occurrences does not happen. Meanwhile, Paul Pogba is not the first United player to be house-robbed; Victor Lindelof is an early-season victim of a house break-in.

However, in his case, the whole family were at home as of the time of the incident – Wife and Children but nobody was hurt. The defender was on duty with Manchester United during a game with Brentford (The Red Devils won by 3-1) when the incident occurred.

The English Club is believed to be working with security agencies to ensure that their players are well secured and prevent further occurrences.
