Harry Maguire has received a bomb threat to his home after being told his house would be detonated if he didn't leave Manchester United within three days.
The threat to Maguire's agent was reported to Cheshire police, the county where Maguire lives with his fiancee Fern Hawkins and their two daughters.
"This was taken very seriously," a source told The Sun. "Harry and his teammates regularly receive death threats on social media but this was different.
"The email said three bombs had been planted at his home. He had 72 hours to leave United or they'd be detonated. It was dripping with hatred and abuse."
Maguire's bomb threat
Maguire was forced to stay with a teammate on Wednesday whilst armed police and sniffer dogs checked his mansion. The rest of his family went to a safe house until they were given the all-clear.
"Fern was hysterical," continued the source. "She doesn't feel safe anymore.
"She's had enough of the abuse Harry gets. It's relentless, personal and out of order. Enough is enough.
"They're a close family and Harry has always put them first but at the same time he refuses to give into the hate mob."
Maguire backed by players
The England international has received support from several players including World Cup winner Mesut Ozil.
"It's crazy," said Ozil. "Football can never be so serious as to threaten a player and his family. Sometimes it brings out the worst in people."
Maguire was on the bench during United's 3-1 defeat to Arsenal on Saturday.

that reminds you of Escobar of Columbia
That was so heart breaking, especially when the person while shooting him was saying "goal goal goal" in the same manner as the commenter did that day when he scored it. These fans are becoming abit to over the edge these days.

This is the exagรฉrating aspect of man united fans. The whole team is a mess but they chose to lash it out on Maguire. If the midfield plays well then maguire will definitely deliver a better performance.

So what if the club won't sell him then the fans will make him leave ๐ shouldn't have been signed in the first place it was between him and Koulibaly and they chose him because he was English not because he was good wasted 80 mil on him thats the clubs fault the fans shouldn't have to sit there for 90 minutes and watch a defender that was never good play bad every game and wear are shirt just cause he plays well with a good team around him in the England squad doesn't mean he's good, the board signed the wrong player and now cause they wasted 80 mil on him now they feel the need to constantly start him just to cover up there mess as if it wasn't a bad signing ๐ he's worth 25 mil at most but Leicester just made us pay more and united where dumb enough to accept the 80 mil deal, it took a bomb threat to realise not to start Maguire but we start lindeflop over Bailly? When he's literally are most hard working and old school defender who's better than Maguire, lindeflop and Jones put together, we're not gonna sit around for 30 years like Liverpool fans and just wait till we get good, us united fans are sick to death watching players that aren't good play for are club just cause Woodward wants who he wants at the team doesn't mean the fans have to agree and we don't so that's why we want Maguire and anyone else who isn't fit enough for the club out simple and let the rebuild start now with ten hag rather than in 30 years time ffs ๐ it's different when you witness your team lifting 20 odd cups HD, in colour and Live to see them go to the dogs cause of the Owners and Woodward
๐๐ I totally agree with you, we canโt wait 30 years! RR is the worst coach in the history of United. Please let him leave no consultation job nothing nothing! History will not forget.

Coming from a barca fan you and Madrid fans are the most ungrateful fans on the planet ๐ the defence and team are bad and we are complaining about it till they do something about it nothing wrong with that and it worked he didn't play the whole game it's a start, target Maguire till he leaves do the same to the other players that aren't good too then they be forced to sell him cause they players will get sick of it eventually like Pogba has ๐ the bored and owners will think twice about who they sign this time round ๐
These United players lacks everything except for Cristiano Ronaldo who always wants to win. United should get rid of the weaker chain or the rotten tomatoes ๐คฃ๐๐

All these shows that this team cannot afford to lose. The fan itself help to bring down the club as well.

This is getting out of control. Maguire must be going crazy to all this. The safety of his family is priority. Hope the authorities will nab those cowards.
