Manchester United’s Ángel Di María and his family were the victims of an attempted burglary at his home hours after the Argentina international played in the 3-1 victory over Leicester.

According to The Sun, Di María was eating dinnner at his house in Cheshire with his wife and young daughter when three men used scaffolding poles to smash patio doors. They fled empty-handed when an alarm went off but the player who joined for a British record fee of £59.7m was said to have been shaken by the incident.

Di María and his family were said to have been taken to a hotel by United’s security staff, with Cheshire police confirming they are investigating.

“At 7.30pm on Saturday, police received reports of a burglary at a house in the Chelford Road area of Prestbury,” said a sposkesman. “A number of offenders tried to gain access to the property by trying to smash the back door. The alarm was raised before the men got inside and they fled the scene.”
