Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes had his home burgled on Wednesday while he was in Italy for his club's Champions League game against Como.
It is understood Fernandes' family were not in the house in Cheshire when it was broken into and that the intruders were inside for less than five minutes before police arrived.
United are understood to be supporting the 32-year-old following the break-in.
BBC Sport has contacted Cheshire Police about the incident.
He is the latest player to have his family home burgled while playing for his team.
Manchester City player Ruben Dias and former girlfriend Maya Jama also had their Cheshire home burgled in similar circumstances to Fernandes.
Dias was at City's Champions League game against Galatasaray when his home was targeted in January.
Previous victims in the same area include footballers Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling and Riyad Mahrez.
Portugal midfielder Fernandes has been with Manchester United since joining from Sporting in January 2020.
United were beaten 4-1 by Como and, following the match, Fernandes criticised his manager Michael Carrick's tactics.
However, he will remain as the club's captain and will not be disciplined for his comments.
