During Manchester United's Champions League defeat by Atletico Madrid, Paul Pogba's house was burgled while his CHILDREN were at home, as shaken as he is. The France star is offering a reward to anyone who can provide information about the five-minute raid.
Paul Pogba claimed that his home was broken into while he was playing for Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday.
During the break-in, he stated that his two children were sleeping in their bedrooms.
Pogba, 29, took to social media to share the whole extent of the awful occurrence, and he's offering a prize to anyone with additional information.
Paul Pogba of Manchester United has disclosed that his home was broken into while his two children were sleeping in their bedroom when he was playing in the Champions League on Tuesday.
On Wednesday, the World Cup winner took to social media to explain that his and his wife Zulay's 'worst nightmare' has come true, with their sense of protection and security taken away.
Pogba, who is 29 years old, has offered a reward to anyone who can help him.
'Last night, our family's greatest nightmare came true when our home was broken into and burglarized while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom,' he posted on social media.
'The burglars were in our home for less than five minutes, but they stole something more valuable than anything else we had... our sense of safety and security.'
'This happened in the dying minutes of last night's game, when they realized we wouldn't be returning home.' My wife and I ran home, unsure whether or not our children were safe.
While Paul Pogba was playing for Manchester United in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, his house was burgled while his children were sleeping inside.
The midfielder has asked for information on the incident and has stated that he is willing to pay a reward.
'There is no worse feeling in the world for a father than not being able to defend his children, and I genuinely hope that no one ever has to go through what I went through last night.'
'As a result, I'd want to offer a prize to anyone who can provide us with a lead.' Any information should be sent to [email protected]'
Pogba came off the bench in United's 1-0 loss to Atletico Madrid, and the altercation at his house occurred near the end of the game.
According to the player, he and his wife then rushed back to the property.
Pogba has been married to Zulay, a model from Bolivia, since 2019, after meeting her on a pre-season trip a few years previously.
Last month, Pogba was photographed with his wife Zulay, with whom he shares two children.
At the time of the scary break-in, their two children were sleeping in their house.
United is now working with their players to assess and tighten the security at their homes, according to reports from the last few hours.
Pogba's incident occurred only a few months after teammate Victor Lindelof's home was broken into.
His wife Maja and their small family were present at the time of the incident in January, but were thankfully unharmed.
When the tragic event occurred, Lindelof was playing for United in their win over Brentford in the capital.
At the time, a United statement said, "We can confirm that a break-in occurred at Victor Lindelof's house during the away game against Brentford."
Pogba made his Atletico Madrid debut as a second-half replacement before returning home.
Maja went into detail about the trauma she had as a result of the break-in.
'We had a break-in at our house in Manchester during Victor's game this Wednesday night,' she said on Instagram.
We are fine in the circumstances, but it was clearly a terrible and frightening experience for both me and my little children. We're currently in Sweden, where we'll be spending some time with our family. Maja, I love you.'
Pogba has been a United player since re-joining the club for a then-world-record sum of £89 million in 2016, after leaving Juventus.
His Old Trafford contract is slated to expire this summer.
Victor Lindelof (right) was also a victim of a break-in at his home earlier this year.
Maja Lindelof, Lindelof's wife, described her horrific experience while her husband was playing for United.
