The Manchester United captain has been hit hard by fans and critics due to his poor performances for the Red Devils in recent games.

Manchester United fans may have taken their complaints about Harry Maguire's form too far, as the English International has urged the police to attend a serious threat to his family's safety in the last 24 hours.

According to reports by Sky Sports and The Sun, the player asked for police intervention after receiving a bomb threat to his home. The player lives with his fiancee Fern Hawkins along with their two daughters, and the player's request has been answered by the Cheshire Police Department, who sent sniffing dogs to the property earlier today.

The player's request came after an email was sent to his inbox, claiming that an unspecified device was going to be sent to his home.

Here is the report by Sky Sports, detailing the threat and the press release issued by a spokesman of the footballer.

Maguire has been harshly criticized for his poor form during Manchester United's recent games, in which some of his mistakes have seen their rivals scoring goals. Nevertheless, taking such actions against his family may be pushing the line too far.
