Manchester United captain and England star Harry Maguire was sent threats that bombs would be detonated at his home if he did not leave the club.
Maguire lives in Wilmslow, Cheshire, with fiancee Fern Hawkins and daughters, Lillie Saint, 3, and Piper Rose, who is 1 next month.
A search of his luxury home with a sniffer dog was carried out but nothing suspicious was found. An investigation is now underway to find the person behind the threat, who is thought to have been included in the email, The Mirror reports.
The threat came just hours after United's 4-0 defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday (April 19) at Anfield. Fern is reported to have been particularly distressed and was comforted by family in Sheffield after the incident.
