Cinco minutos. Foi mais ou menos o tempo que os invasores passaram dentro da casa de Bruno Fernandes em Cheshire na quarta-feira, antes que os policiais chegassem ao endereço - e o capitão do Manchester United estava a centenas de quilômetros de distância, na Itália, para o jogo de Champions League da equipe contra o Como.
A família não estava na propriedade quando ela foi invadida. Entende-se que o United está cuidando do seu capitão de 32 anos após o arrombamento.
Fernandes é apenas o nome mais recente de uma lista que cresceu desconfortavelmente naquela parte do noroeste da Inglaterra. Ruben Dias, seu companheiro de Portugal no Manchester City, e a ex-parceira de Dias, Maya Jama, foram assaltados na casa deles em Cheshire em circunstâncias próximas às do caso desta semana; Dias estava fora com o City em um jogo da Champions League contra o Galatasaray em janeiro quando aconteceu. Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling e Riyad Mahrez também tiveram casas na região visadas.
Dentro de campo a semana também foi incômoda. O Como fez quatro gols no United, e Fernandes se manifestou contra as táticas de Michael Carrick depois. O clube decidiu não puni-lo, e ele segue com a braçadeira.
Ele chegou vindo do Sporting em janeiro de 2020. A polícia de Cheshire foi procurada para comentar.
