Terror For Man United Star Angel Di Maria As Thugs Try To Break Into His Mansion With Scaffold Poles While He Was Eating With His Family

Burglars used scaffolding poles in a bid to smash their way in to the home of Manchester United star Angel Di Maria as he ate dinner with his family.
A gang of three armed thugs are reported to have used the metal poles in an attempt to break through patio doors at the Argentine's mansion in Cheshire.
The 26-year-old is said to have been eating dinner with his wife Jorgelina Cardoso and young daughter Mia when the terrifying raid unfolded.

They were later transferred to a hotel in Manchester while investigations got underway.
A source told the newspaper that none of the raiders entered the house because the alarm went off when they attempted to smash the patio doors and that when police turned up they were 'long gone'.
'From what I heard Di Maria and his family were very shaken up - as you would be,' the source added.

Di Maria was shadowed by a security guard on Sunday as he drove from the hotel in his Range
Rover, while images of his property showed a window boarded up.
The former Real Madrid midfielder’s agent confirmed the incident yesterday.
Cheshire police have confirmed they are investigating reports of a burglary, and have urged members of the public who have information on the incident to contact the force, or Crimestoppers.

'A number of offenders tried to gain access to the property by trying to smash the back door. The alarm was raised before the men got inside and they fled the scene.'
The Argentina international signed for Manchester United from Real Madrid in August for a British
record transfer fee of £59.7million, moving to Cheshire with his wife, who he married in 2011, and daughter, who is almost 22-months-old.
Little Mia was born three months premature on April 22, 2013 - the night before her father's then team Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund in a Champions League semi-final.
Di Maria missed the game to be with his wife and their baby spent the next two months in intensive care before the couple were allowed to take her home.
Following Real's Champions League win over Atletico Madrid, the footballer said of his little
girl: ‘My daughter taught me that everything that appears to be really difficult can end up being easy if you put the effort in and wait for the
rewards.
‘She transmitted so much energy to me and it helped me to have the spectacular year that I had.’
