Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes experienced a burglary at his home on Wednesday while he was in Italy for a Champions League match against Como. Fortunately, his family was not present in their Cheshire residence at the time of the incident.

Reports indicate that the intruders were in the house for less than five minutes before police arrived. Manchester United is reportedly providing support to the 32-year-old following this distressing event.

This incident adds Fernandes to a growing list of footballers who have faced similar situations:

• Ruben Dias (Manchester City) had his home burgled while attending a Champions League game against Galatasaray in January.
• Other notable victims in the Cheshire area include Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, and Riyad Mahrez.

Fernandes, who joined Manchester United from Sporting Lisbon in January 2020, faced further scrutiny after the match, where United suffered a 4-1 defeat to Como. He criticized manager Michael Carrick's tactics post-match. Despite his comments, Fernandes will retain his position as the club's captain and will not face disciplinary action.
