On Wednesday January 19, while Swedish defender Victor Lindelöf was playing Brentford with Manchester United, his home was broken into. His wife and two sons, present at the scene, hid in a room. “We are doing well despite the circumstances”, said Maja Nilsson Lindelöf on Instagram.
Victor Lindelöf suspected nothing. On Wednesday January 19, the Swedish defender of Manchester United was on the field to face the team of Brentford, in a match of the Premier League, when his home was broken into. His wife Maja Nilsson Lindelöf, his three-year-old son, Ted Louie, and his newborn Francis were present. Fortunately, the athlete’s wife had the presence of mind to hide before the burglars entered the house. On Friday January 21, Maja Nilsson Lindelöf recounted the burglary on her Instagram account. “During Victor’s game on Wednesday night there was a burglary at our Manchester home”, she wrote, adding: “I was at home with my two children and we managed to hide and lock ourselves in a room before they entered the house.” More fear than harm, then.
Victor Lindelöf’s family traumatized
“We are fine despite the circumstances, but it was obviously very traumatic and scary for my children and me.” After the burglary, Victor Lindelöf’s family returned to Sweden, where they will spend some time with our families. Victor Lindelöf, Cristiano Ronaldo’s team-mate, will not play the league game against West Ham on Saturday January 22, manager Ralf Ragnick announced on the eve of the match on Friday January 21, as reported The Team. “He felt the need to stay home. He doesn’t want to leave his wife and family alone, which I can totally understand being a father of two myself,” added Ralf Ragnick. Victor Lindelöf is not the first footballer to be the victim of a burglary. Recently, two men tried to break into Neymar’s property. Paris Saint-Germain footballers Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos were also the targets of burglars.
