Manchester United gave Andre Onana and his family 24-hour protection after the Cameroon goalkeeper's wife was the victim of a violent street robbery.
Melanie Kamayou had her £62,000 Hermes bag and Rolex watch snatched by a robber who struck as she got out of her car at San Carlo restaurant in Alderley Edge, where she was due to have dinner with a friend.
The player’s partner sought help at a nearby petrol station and then at the restaurant, who called the police for her.
United have given Onana their full support and provided around-the-clock security on the family home in Hale for several days.
