According to reports, around 20 people who are Manchester United fans and believed to be part of a hooligan group known as the ‘Men In Black’ attacked the home of the club’s executive vice-chairman Ed Woodward on Tuesday evening.
The incident is believed to have happened around 8pm on Tuesday night.
The hoodlums threw flares and a smoke bomb at Woodward’s £2 million Cheshire mansion.
Luckily, Woodward and his family were not home at the time of the attack, according to widespread reports.
A statement from Manchester United read: “Manchester United Football Club have tonight been made aware of the incident outside the home of one of our employees.
We know that the football world will unite behind us as we work with Greater Manchester Police to identify the perpetrators of this unwarranted attack.
Anybody found guilty of a criminal offence, or found to be trespassing on this property, will be banned for life by The Club and may face prosecution.
