Bruno Fernandes’s house was reportedly burglarized on Wednesday night, with thieves getting away with a number of items.
Fernandes was in Italy during the time of the break-in, representing United in the Champions League. Following the Red Devils’ 4–1 loss to Como, Cheshire Police responded to an incident at his residence.
According to The Athletic, “three unknown men” were spotted in the rear garden of a neighboring property. The police headed to the scene after receiving tips of the “suspicious activity,” but the perpetrators got away before the authorities arrived.

United confirmed to The Athletic Fernandes’s family was fortunately not home at the time of the break-in, which occurred around 8:30 p.m. BST (3:30 p.m. ET).
Items were stolen from the property, though, and a formal police investigation is underway.
The incident is latest break-in at the home of a high-profile Premier League player.
Manchester City center back Rúben Dias had his Cheshire home burglarized back in January while he was playing an away Champions League game as well.
Jack Grealish and Raheem Sterling have also been victims in the same area.
