Manchester United's captain Harry Maguire was at the receiving end of a bomb threat following his side's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday night.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the England defender called Cheshire Police after getting the threat via email at his family home in Wilmslow. Officers from Cheshire Constabulary were dispatched along with a specialist police explosives dog.
Searches were carried out around Maguire's home, which he shares with his fiancée and their two daughters, but the property was not evacuated. The threat came a day after the heavy defeat at Anfield which led to scathing criticism towards Maguire, including from former Manchester United captain Roy Keane on Sky Sports.
