The England international has been the subject of widespread criticism and scrutiny this season after putting in a number of poor performances for the Red Devils.

A spokesperson for Maguire said: “In the last 24 hours, Harry has received a serious threat to his family home.

“He has reported this to the police who are now looking into the matter. The safety of his family and those around him is obviously Harry’s number one priority.

“He will continue to prepare for this weekend’s fixture as normal and we will not be commenting in any further detail at this time.”

Fortunately no devices were found during the sweep of his home but The Sun claims that ‘the threat was deemed so serious police returned yesterday with a sniffer dog to make a second sweep of the grounds and surrounding area’.

A source close to Maguire told The Sun: “Harry will not be forced out of Manchester United by this kind of threat.

“His number one priority will always be the safety of his family but he’s also got the strength of character to deal with this. It looks like the work of some cowardly fan.

“If that proves to be the case, they are an utter disgrace to the name of this proud football club.”
