Man United captain Maguire receives bomb threat
Harry Maguire's house was checked by police on
Thursday after the Manchester United captain received a bomb threat.
England defender Maguire, who lives with his fiancée and
two children, has endured a difficult season with club and country, but it is
not known who made the threat.
The 29-year-old's home was swept by Cheshire
Constabulary to ensure his safety.
"In the last 24 hours, Harry has received a
serious threat to his family home," a spokesman for Maguire said.
"He has reported this to the police who are now
looking into the matter.
"The safety of his family and those around him is
obviously Harry's number one priority.
"He will continue to prepare for this weekend's
fixture as normal and we will not be commenting in any further detail at this
time."
The bomb scare is the latest issue for Maguire, who
has been subjected to stinging criticism from pundits and jeers from England
fans this season.
Maguire was part of the United team thrashed 4-0 at
arch rivals Liverpool on Tuesday.
He is next due to play when United travel to Arsenal
on Saturday for a crucial Premier League clash in the race to qualify for next
season's Champions League.
United, who have slipped to sixth in the Premier
League, on Thursday announced the appointment of Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag as
their new manager from next season.
