Paul Pogba ‘hit by same burglars who terrorised his Manchester United teammates’
MANCHESTER United ace Paul Pogba was hit by the same burglars who terrorised his Red Devils teammates, cops believe.
A black Audi estate spotted near his £3.5million mansion is understood to have been seen close to the homes of at least two other players targeted by the gang.
Police investigating last week’s raid are also seeing if they can find any links to a raid on Manchester City ace Joao Cancelo.
Four thugs punched him and stole jewellery on December 30.
A source told The Sun: “There is a lot of CCTV and home security footage so the police are doing a lot of work around that.
“The car has false plates but officers are making progress.”
