Lindelof given training session off by Man Utd after home burgled

United interim boss Ralf Rangnick said he had given the player permission to miss training on Friday after the "traumatic" incident.

"He told me what had actually happened and that this was really a traumatic event, especially for his wife and even the three-year-old son," said Rangnick. "He said to me that he right now needs to stay at home. He doesn't want to leave his wife and his family on their own, which I can fully understand being a father of two children myself. "We agreed that he will not be training today and also not be on duty tomorrow for the game."

Lindelof's wife Maja revealed on social media that she had locked herself in a room with the couple's two children to avoid the intruders. "We are OK under the circumstances but it was obviously a very traumatic and scary moment" she posted on Instagram.
