Police are investigating a burglary at the home of Bruno Fernandes that took place as the Manchester United midfielder returned from Italy following a defeat to Como. Fernandes' family are understood not to have been in the house at the time, and police attended the scene quickly. United have publicly supported their skipper.
A statement from Cheshire Police said officers were called at around 8.30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 21, after reports of suspicious activity at an address in the Alderley Park area of Nether Alderley. The caller reported three unknown men in the rear garden of a neighbouring property. When officers arrived, there was no trace of the suspects, but they discovered that a burglary had taken place and a number of items had been stolen.
Detective Inspector David Jarvis of Macclesfield Proactive CID said the investigation was in its early stages and that police were committed to tracing those responsible. Anyone in the local area who may have witnessed anything suspicious, or who has CCTV or dashcam footage, is asked to come forward.
The burglary follows a 4-1 loss to Como, managed by Cesc Fabregas, which extended United's winless run to seven fixtures. The result, along with Fernandes' public criticism of boss Michael Carrick's tactics, raised questions about Carrick's future. However, sources told ESPN he will remain in charge for Sunday's Premier League home game against Bournemouth.
