The Manchester United midfielder revealed that while he was partaking in the match, his wife in the stands, his children stayed home and were in the house when the culprits entered.
By Pogba’s own account he sped home to get to his house to know the full details of the burglary. Later the French World Cup winner took to Twitter to offer a reward for any information leading to the arrest of those involved in the home invasion.

Pogba stated that last week was his family’s “worst night” and that his World Cup medal was taken along with jewelry that belonged to his mother. In retrospect, Pogba was thankful no harm came to his children, “What scared me the most was that my two children were at home with the nanny during this incident. She overheard everything, called my wife and security, then locked herself with the boys in a room. For several days, she was shocked.”
Pogba is one of many high-profile soccer players to go through such an incident and in England it has become a growing trend when soccer players are off playing their respective matches their homes are targets. Manchester City’s Joao Cancelo, Manchester United’s Victor Lindelof, and others who have had their homes broken into.
