The Man United star while reflecting on the matter said everything happened within a twinkle of an eye.

“Everything went very fast. I did not think much. I just wanted to help my aunt get her bag back and what she had in it. It was nothing more than that, I just wanted to help. I have not had any contact with her, unfortunately.
