Cheshire police with sniffer dogs have been sent to the house of Manchester United captain Harry Maguire after he received a bomb threat.
Maguire lives with his fiancee Fern Hawkins along with their two daughters but their property is now being extensively searched by police following the threat. An email was sent that a bomb was being left at the home of the England international.
The player – as with any high-profile footballer – is often on the end of widespread abuse and threats on social media platforms but the nature of this threat has forced the police to treat the issue seriously. It comes just days after United’s miserable run of form continued with a four-goal defeat against Liverpool at Anfield.
