Police were called to the home of the Manchester United captain after he received a bomb threat.

The player reported the threat to the police.

On April 20th, the police were called to an address in the Wilmslow area for a bomb threat.

A police explosives dog went to the address this afternoon to conduct a search of the gardens and surrounding area as a precautionary measure.

His family home is where he lives with his fiancée and two children.

In the last 24 hours, Harry has received a serious threat to his family home.

The police are looking into the matter after he reported it to them. Harry wants his family and those around him to be safe.

We will not be commenting in any further detail at this time, as he will continue to prepare for this weekend's fixture as normal.

The last person to play for United in the game was Maguire.
