In a terrifying death threat, Harry Maguire was reportedly threatened with having his house bombed within 72 hours if he did not quit Manchester United.
The England defender on Wednesday received a bomb threat at his residence.
Cheshire Police were alerted to the threat and performed a search of the footballer’s residence.

However, according to The Sun, the 29-year-old was given a grim ultimatum to quite his club within 72 hours or three bombs planted at his home would be detonated.
According to the report, the centre-back was at United’s Carrington training ground when he received the terrible message on Wednesday, a day after United’s 4-0 loss to Liverpool, and rushed home.
His fiancée and daughters Lillie Saint, two, and Piper Rose, who will turn one next month, have gone to a safe house, according to the report, while Maguire is staying with a teammate.
Maguire is in the process of obtaining more CCTV and 24-hour guards, and authorities also searched his home again on Thursday and found nothing.
