Burglars used scaffolding poles in a bid to smash their way in to the home of Manchester United star Angel Di Maria as he ate dinner with his family.

A gang of three armed thugs are reported to have used the metal poles in an attempt to break through patio doors at the Argentine's mansion in Cheshire.

The 26-year-old is said to have been eating dinner with his wife Jorgelina Cardoso and young daughter Mia when the terrifying raid unfolded.
