Victor Lindelof’s family were left terrified after his Manchester home was broken into while he was on field playing in a Premier League match.
While Lindelof was playing in his team’s 3-1 win against Brentford on Wednesday evening, his wife and children were hiding from the intruders.
The defender’s wife said the family “managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house”.
Lindelof did not find out what had happened until after the Premier League match.
A statement from Manchester United said: “We can confirm that a break-in occurred at Victor Lindelof’s house during the away game against Brentford.
“His family, who were at home at the time, were unhurt but clearly shaken.
“This was a distressing experience for them, and for Victor when he learned of it after the game, and the club is providing them with our full support.
“We encourage anyone with information about the crime to contact the police.”
On Instagram, Lindelof’s wife Maja said: “During Victor’s game this Wednesday night we had a break-in at our house in Manchester.
“I was home alone with both kids but we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house.
“We are OK under the circumstances but it was obviously a very traumatic and scary moment for both and my little kids.
“We are now in Sweden and are spending some time off with our families.”
