Cleaner to Man Utd stars: I just had to take photo of Rojo's pay cheque!

Police have questioned a cleaner to the stars of Manchester United.

The Mirror reports a cleaner was quizzed by police and sacked...for snapping pictures while tidying the mansions of three Manchester United stars.

Detectives quizzed Jessica Tinsley, 24, after the Old Trafford club alleged she was 'rummaging' around the luxury pads of £60million man Angel di Maria, £16million defender Marcos Rojo and £6million striker Javier Hernandez.

While scrubbing and polishing her way through their homes £8-an-hour Jessica, of Warrington, Cheshire, took photographs - but only to show off to her family.

She took snaps of bedrooms, bathrooms, chandeliers, swimming pools and even Rojo's £200,000 wage slip.

But it was feared the pictures could end up in the wrong hands, like gangs of professional housebreakers, so she was interviewed by two officers earlier this month. Jessica said: "I'm gutted I've been sacked - all because I took a few photos.

"I did it out of sheer nosiness - their houses were incredible - and I just had to take a photo of the wage slip because I couldn't believe how much he was paid.

"I was gob-smacked when two officers came to my door. They took my phone and deleted all the photos.

"They said they thought I would sell the photos to burglars - but I would have never done that, it's not in my character at all.

"I just showed my family - my little brother is a massive Manchester United fan."
