Oct 22 (Reuters) - Police are ⁠investigating a break-in at Manchester United captain BrunoFernandes' ⁠house in which intruders stole a number of items, ‌according to a report by The Athletic.

Cheshire Police launched an investigation after officers responded to reports of suspicious activity on Wednesday night at a residential ​address.

"The caller reported three unknown men ⁠in the rear garden ⁠of a neighbouring property," Detective Inspector Dave Jarvis told The Athletic.

"Officers ⁠attended ‌the scene and on arrival there was no trace of the suspects. However, officers discovered that there ⁠had been a burglary at the address and ​a number ‌of items had been stolen.

"An investigation into the incident has ⁠been launched ​and enquiries are ongoing."

The report said that police were alerted shortly after Manchester United's 4-1 Champions League defeat by Como in ⁠Italy.

According to The Athletic, citing a club ​statement, no members of Fernandes' family were at the property during the break-in and the intruders spent less than five minutes ⁠inside before police arrived.

Reuters has contacted Cheshire Police and Manchester United for comment.

Fernandes has featured in every game for United this season and captained the side on Wednesday as they ​extended their winless run in all ⁠competitions to seven matches.

Following the defeat, the 32-year-old called on his ​team to be "more brave" after another ‌disappointing result.

United, who are 13th in ​the Premier League standings, host Bournemouth on Sunday.

足球 - 欧洲冠军联赛 - 马德里竞技对阵曼联 - 西班牙马德里利雅得航空大都会球场 - 2026年10月13日 曼联球员布鲁诺·费尔南德斯被马特乌斯·库尼亚换下时显得很沮丧。路透社/苏珊娜·维拉

10 月 22 日（路透社）——据《The Athletic》报道，警方正在调查曼联队长布鲁诺·费尔南德斯家中发生的入室盗窃案，入侵者偷走了一些物品。

周三晚间，柴郡警方接到报案称某住宅地址出现可疑活动，随即展开调查。

“报警人称在邻居家后花园里发现了三名身份不明的男子，”侦探督察戴夫·贾维斯告诉《The Athletic》杂志。

“警员赶到现场后，没有发现嫌疑人的踪迹。然而，警员发现该地址发生了一起入室盗窃案，一些物品被盗。”

“目前已对该事件展开调查，调查仍在进行中。”

报道称，曼联在意大利欧冠联赛中以 1-4 负于科莫后不久，警方就接到了报警。

据《The Athletic》援引俱乐部声明报道，费尔南德斯的家人在入室盗窃发生时都不在屋内，入侵者在警察到达之前在屋内停留了不到五分钟。

路透社已联系柴郡警方和曼联俱乐部寻求置评。

费尔南德斯本赛季代表曼联参加了每一场比赛，并在周三担任队长，但曼联各项赛事的不胜纪录扩大到七场。

赛后，这位 32 岁的教练呼吁他的球队在又一次令人失望的结果后要“更加勇敢”。

目前在英超积分榜上排名第13位的曼联将于周日主场迎战伯恩茅斯。
