Bruno Fernandes Targeted by Burglars While Away With Man Utd in Italy

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes had his home burgled on Wednesday, while he was in Italy with the club for its Champions League match against Como. The house was empty during the trip, as the squad was on the road for the European fixture.

Fernandes is one of the most recognisable players in United's squad, and the break-in is a reminder of how exposed high-profile players' homes can be when they are travelling with their teams for long periods. Clubs often remind players to keep valuables secure and to arrange monitoring or house-sitting when they are away for several days.

The initial reports do not say what, if anything, was taken, or whether anyone has been arrested. Further details are likely to follow as the investigation proceeds.
