THE wife of Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was reportedly robbed of her £62,000 Hermes Birkin bag and a Rolex watch outside an Italian restaurant.
Melanie Kamayou, who describes herself online as a pharmacist, businesswoman and philanthropist, was said to have been targeted in the car park of the upmarket eatery on March 29.

Liam Ross, 25, from the Wibsey area of Bradford, has been charged with the high-value robbery, the Daily Mail reports.
The alleged thief is claimed to have taken the ultra-luxury designer goods in the heart of the picturesque Cheshire village – nicknamed the ‘Knightsbridge of the North’ – which is home to some of football’s biggest names and flashiest cars.
He appeared before Chester Magistrates Court on Friday, also facing a charge of supplying cannabis.
He’s due back in court at Chester Crown Court in May.
Ms Kamayou, who frequently posts pictures of her glamorous life on social media, often poses with high-end handbags, including Birkins – widely considered the rarest and most sought-after in the world.
Hermes Birkin bags can fetch hundreds of thousands of pounds.
The priciest ever sold went for a jaw-dropping £1.5 million ($2 million).
Kamayou has been married to Cameroon international Onana since 2023.
The pair, who are reported to have a son, moved to the UK when Onana signed for United from Inter Milan last summer.
He’s since made 92 appearances for the Red Devils, including in their 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest on Tuesday.
The couple now live in Alderley Edge, a magnet for Premier League stars past and present. The likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney have all called the village home.
More recently, Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson, as well as Man City’s Raheem Sterling and Virgil van Dijk, have been spotted in the area.
It’s also a hotspot for supercar enthusiasts, with Porsches, Lamborghinis and Ferraris lining the leafy streets – and drawing photographers from across the country.
The Sun has contacted Cheshire Police for more information.
