Since Wednesday, Manchester Police have been investigating anonymous threats regarding the presence of a bomb at the home of Harry Maguire, captain of the United, who decided to leave his residence, as did his fiancée and daughters, as a preventive measure. Apparently, the bad timing of the British team would be directly related to this situation.
“For the past 24 hours, Harry received a serious threat directed over his family home,” a spokesman for the footballer had explained. “No evacuation was ordered, but as a precaution a police dog trained to detect explosives was taken to that address on Thursday afternoon, April 21,” he said, noting that no suspicious objects were found.
A source close to the case spoke to The Sun this Friday and gave details of what happened: “This was taken very seriously. Harry and his teammates regularly receive death threats on social media, but this was different. The e-mail said that three bombs had been planted in his house. He had 72 hours to leave United or they would be detonated.”
This dramatic episode has crossed all boundaries and Maguire's partner has been hit hard: “She doesn't feel safe anymore. She's had enough of Harry's abuse. It's relentless, personal and out of place. Enough is enough. They are a close family and Harry has always put them first, but at the same time he refuses to give in to the hate mafia.”
Manchester United is living a tough season. After a start marked with the arrival of Cristiano Ronaldo that filled fans with enthusiasm, the team is sixth in the standings and is coming from being beaten 4-0 by Liverpool. In addition, in the Champions League he was eliminated by Atlético de Madrid in the round of 16 and fans point out his captain as one of those responsible for this present.
“The safety of his family is Harry's number one priority,” said his spokesman, who asked for privacy for the family, while anticipating that the footballer will continue to work alongside the group and therefore this Saturday will play against Arsenal in another key duel.
The Red Devils are currently sixth with 54 points, three less than Tottenham, the last virtual Champions League qualifier, and Arsenal, both with one game pending. Therefore, a defeat this weekend could leave those led by Ralf Rangnick even further from the qualifying zone for the top European competition, with only five rounds left until the Premier League final.
