Goalkeeper David de Gea might earn £70k-a-week at Manchester United, but the 20-year-old star allegedly pinched a £1.19 doughnut from Tesco.
The Spaniard is alleged to have picked up the Original Glazed Krispy Kreme doughnut and eaten it in the magazine aisle before walking towards the exit without paying, or buying anything else from the store.
It is claimed he was caught on CCTV stealing the snack from Tesco Extra in Altrincham, Greater Manchester..De Gea, who was with two Spanish friends, was apparently stopped by security staff and taken into their ‘stop and search’ room for questioning, according to a tabloid.
The security guards who monitor the CCTV watched two of them take a doughnut each out of the Krispy Kreme cabinet.
Incredibly, they then appeared to try to leave without paying – or buying anything else for that matter.’
The source added that the goalkeeper looked ‘embarrassed’ when he was taken away by security staff.
