The 29-year-old married the Bolivian model in 2019 and both share two kids together. They became parents with the birth of their first son, Labile Shakur, on January 3rd, 2019. And then, welcomed their second son into the world in 2020. A statement issued by Pogba on Wednesday read: “Last night our family’s worst nightmare was realised when our home was broken into and burglarised while our babies were sleeping in their bedroom.
“The burglars were in our home for less than five minutes but in that time they took from us something more valuable than anything we had in our home; our sense of safety and security.
“This occurred during the final minutes of last night’s match when they knew that we would not be home.
“My wife and I rushed home not knowing if our children were safe and unharmed. As a father there is no feeling worse in this world than not being there to protect your children and I sincerely hope that no one ever has to feel what I felt last night.
“It is for this reason that I would like to offer a reward for anyone who has a clue to help us. Please send an info to [email protected].”
Manchester United are understood to be working to strengthen their players’ home security. Earlier defender Victor Lindelof’s home was targeted this season. Meanwhile Manchester City full-back Joao Cancelo was assaulted during a burglary at his home in February.
