Maguire was given 72 hours to quit club or bombs would be detonated at his family home

Harry Maguire was threatened that his house would be bombed within 72 hours if he did not quit Manchester United in a horrific death threat.

The Sun claim the 29-year-old was given a chilling ultimatum which gave him 72 hours to quit his club or have three bombs which had been planted at his house detonated.

The report adds the centre-back was at United’s Carrington training ground when he was made aware of the sickening message on Wednesday – a day after United had suffered a 4-0 defeat by Liverpool – and consequently rushed home.

His fiancee and daughters Lillie Saint, two, and Piper Rose, one next month, have gone to a safe house while Maguire himself is staying with a team-mate, the report adds.

The same outlet claims Maguire is in the process of purchasing new CCTV and 24/7 guards, and that police once again searched his house on Thursday but found nothing.

A source told The Sun: ‘This was taken very seriously. 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.

‘Fern was hysterical. 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.’
