The fiancee of Manchester United star Darren Fletcher had a knife pressed to her throat during a "terrifying" burglary at his home, police said on Tuesday. Hayley Grice was forced to take off her engagement ring while Fletcher's mother was also forced to hand over watches and jewellery at knifepoint in a raid that took place on Monday evening, just hours after the player had flown out with the United squad for a Champions League match in Milan.
Fletcher's young twins were also in the house in the upmarket village of Bowdown, south of Manchester.
