“They knew we weren’t at home,” said Pogba, who entered at the end of the match at Old Trafford, where his wife, Maria Zulay Salaues, was among the attendees.

Nothing is worse for the head of the family than knowing he was not there to protect his children.”
He ended his post by suggesting a “reward” for someone who helps him track down the thieves, using a specific mail address.
The Frenchman did not extend his contract with the Red Devils, who suffered a new season away from titles.
His Swedish colleague Victor Lindelof was also a victim of theft, which he described as “very shocking”, when he was facing Brentford last January.
