The incident reportedly happened on January 16.
Manchester United youngster Tahith Chong was reportedly “robbed at knifepoint” after “masked raiders” broke into his home at 3 am, according to reports.
The 22-year-old, who is currently on loan at Championship club Birmingham City, is the latest United player to be targeted after Paul Pogba, Victor Lindelof and Jesse Lingard were all burgled in recent weeks.
The ‘masked raiders’ stole thousands of pounds worth of possessions.
The masked robbers are said to have stolen thousands of pounds worth of possessions from the winger – including jewellery, watches and designers bags – and “held a blade” to his throat.
It is also alleged that they mocked the Dutchman over his lack of security. The incident reportedly happened on January 16 and police were called shortly afterwards.

Chong is the fourth Man United player to be targeted.
Lingard was burgled on January 15 while United were playing Aston Villa, with Lindelof also targeted during the Red Devils’ clash with Brentford on January 19.
Pogba’s home was broken into United’s Champions League game against Atletico Madrid on March 15 – while the Frenchman’s children were in the property. His World Cup winners’ medal was stolen.
“I am ok, my family too,” said Pogba.
“I had quite a surprising week… when I went home, I discovered that my home was robbed following the entry of three people who stole my safe. There was my mother’s jewellery in there, my World Cup medal.”
Pogba added: “What scared me the most, is that my two children were at home with the nanny during the incident. She heard everything, called my wife and security, then locked herself with the boys in a room. For several days after, she was in shock. The most important thing is that my children are doing fine.”
