Manchester United winger Tahith Chong has taken to social media to confirm reports he was 'held at knifepoint' during a home invasion this year.

The Sun reports how three balaclava-clad invaders broke into the 22-year-old's Sale property while he was asleep at 3am back in January, before holding knives up against his throat.

It is believed the raiders demanded Chong hand over his prized possessions, including jewellery, watches and women's designer bags.

Taking to social media on Sunday morning, the Birmingham City loanee wrote: "Good morning to everyone. Yesterday there was a report that came out as terrifying as the article may sound, I am doing fine and this was a few months back, so not as some reported last night.

"Thankyou for all the messages and happy Mother's Day to everyone."
