Victor Lindelof's wife, Maja, has confirmed that their house was broken into on Wednesday night as her husband played for Manchester United in London.

Maja took to social media on Friday afternoon to confirm their house was broken into while she and both their young children were at home.
She wrote: "During Victor's game this Wednesday night we had a break-in at our house in Manchester. I was home alone with both the kids but we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered our house.

"Love, Maja." United released their own statement on Friday urging anyone with information to contact the police.
