Manchester United captain Harry Maguire received a chilling threat to bomb his family home in the aftermath of the club's 4-0 loss to Liverpool, it was revealed today. Police officers were dispatched to his home in Wilmslow, Cheshire, on Thursday afternoon, together with a specialist police explosives dog, as a follow-up, it's been confirmed.
Cheshire Constabulary said the highly-trained dog carried out a search of the gardens and the area immediately surrounding the property today. It's understood the Red Devils skipper received the bomb threat by email at the family home he shares with his fiancee Fern Hawkins and their two daughters.
That was on Wednesday, police said, after United were beaten 4-0 by old rivals Liverpool in the Premier League at Anfield on Tuesday evening. Police said officers were called to reports of a 'bomb threat' on Wednesday, but said no evacuations took place. No time was given.
