Massive flooding in Manchester, on the very first day of the new year! Maguire’s €4,800,000 villa did not escape unscathed
Harry Maguire, English international who is under contract with Manchester United from August 2019, he spent New Year’s Eve in his €4,800,000 villa, where he hosted several high-profile guests, including Jordan Pickford, his colleague from the England national team, and his wife.
The party was a success, but at dawn on January 1, 2025, shortly after Maguire and some of his guests had gone to bed, things took a turn for the worse. Torrential rain hit Manchester, and before long, the streets around Maguire’s home were flooded.
right The Sunthe water in the area reached up to 3 meters high, and some of the homes were destroyed by the floods.
It wasn’t either case of Maguire’s villa. The Manchester United star’s property was flooded, but the house was largely spared. The defender and his guests suddenly woke up from their sleep when they saw that the water was starting to enter the home and joined forces to minimize the damage:
It was a joint effort! Everyone had a wonderful New Year’s night and then went to bed. But they awoke a few hours later to find the gardens submerged deep under water and the rain still pouring down. They did everything they could to prevent the flood from affecting the house. It certainly wasn’t the start of the year they were hoping for, but Harry is aware that it was much worse for others. He assessed the damage and realized it could have been much, much worse,” a source was quoted as saying by The Sun.
State of emergency in Manchester
According to The Sun, rain fell over Manchester and the city’s suburbs for 48 hours straight. Hundreds of people were stuck in their homes, and firefighters attended more than 100 homes to respond urgently.
According to the quoted source, a state of emergency has been declared in Manchester and mountain rescue teams have also been contacted to participate in joint efforts to help those affected.
The floods caused considerable damage and disruption. We evacuated over 1,000 people from their homes, half of them in boats and many with their homes completely flooded. Over the past 36 hours, fire crews have worked tirelessly to keep people safe. I’d like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and dedication,” Manchester Fire Chief Officer Dave Russel said, according to The Sun.
