Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney has recommended Angel di Maria hire a Gurkha for home security.

The Di Maria family home was recently broken into by an armed gang, and was left shaken by the incident.

Rooney employs a Nepalese warrior to guard his mansion and, reports The Sun, he has told Di Maria to do the same.

A source revealed: "Angel's wife Jorgelina has been left terrified by the attack and won't go back to the rented house in Cheshire.

"Wayne has suggested a Gurkha like the one who protects his and Wes Brown's places. Their guy has had a decorated career in the Army and no one dares go anywhere near the houses."
