Members of his family and his fiancée, Sasha Atwood, were at the property at the time when they heard a disturbance and raised the alarm.

Thieves made off with £1million worth of jewellery and watches and police are now investigating.

Sources said Jack was told of the break-in minutes after City’s win at Goodison Park.

The club’s head of player support and protocol Manel Estiarte appeared to rush onto the pitch to give the Prem ace a message.

Jack seemed concerned after having the private conversation and quickly headed down the stadium’s tunnel.

Cops have now told The Sun that there have been no arrests and there was no trace of the suspects.

Neighbours were told to lock doors and stay inside.

A spokeswoman for Cheshire Constabulary said: “At around 9.50pm on Wednesday 27 December police were called to reports of a burglary.

“The caller reported that a number of items had been stolen.

“Officers, supported by the police dogs and NPAS (National Police Air Service), were deployed and searches were conducted in the local area, but there was no trace of the suspects.

“No arrests have been made at this time and enquiries are ongoing.

“Anyone with any information in relation to the incident is asked to contact Cheshire Police on 101 quoting IML 1722738.”

Around ten relatives were cheering on the City star in his televised match when they heard noises upstairs and dogs barking frantically.

A source told The Sun: “The family are really shaken. The gang took a lot of watches and jewellery.

“They executed their raid when Manchester City were playing live on TV and all his family had gathered downstairs to cheer him on.

“No one was injured but there was a lot of panic. Everyone was terrified as they were all so vulnerable.

“It’s an enormous property, so it is understandable why no one heard anything at first.

“It was also the first time the family had visited  so they were unfamiliar with the property.

“When the dogs went mad, and they could hear people creeping about, they pressed the security panic alarm.

“An emergency unit responded immediately, with multiple police cars and a chopper deployed.

­”Initially, they feared they could be facing a hostage situation or worse.”

City manager Pep Guardiola has expressed his relief that nobody was hurt.

Speaking at a press conference, Guardiola said: “Fortunately nothing wrong happened where the family was inside.

“It is what it is today in the modern day, with many things happening.

“It was a bad moment for him and his family but, fortunately, what was not damaged were the people inside.”
