The worrying trend of footballer’s houses being broken into during matches seems to be continuing. Paul Pogba was the latest victim of such a break-in two days ago while Manchester United were playing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.

The French midfielder took to social media on Wednesday night to offer a reward for anybody able to come forward with information after intruders who entered his home while his children were sleeping. Joao Cancelo and Victor Lindelof were the other players in Manchester who were victims of burglary and assault earlier this year.

In a powerful statement, Pogba detailed the horror of finding out that his children had been put in danger whilst he was away, explaining that “there is no feeling worse” than not being at home to protect them.

He wrote: “Last night our family’s worst nightmare was realized when our home was broken into and burglarized while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom. The burglars were in our house for less than five minutes, but in that time, they took from us something more valuable than anything we had in our home…our sense of safety and security.

“This occurred during the final minutes of last night’s match when they knew that we could not be home. My wife and I rushed home, not knowing if our children were safe and unharmed. As a father, there is no feeling worse in this world than not being there to protect your children, and I sincerely hope that no one ever has to feel what I felt last night.

After explaining the shocking events, Pogba called on anyone on social media who could help find those responsible to contact him via an email address. He added:

“It is for this reason that I would like to offer a reward for anyone who has a clue to help us.”
