THE case against a crook accused of robbing the wife of Manchester United goalie Andre Onana has been dropped.
Melanie Kamayou, 35, had a £62,000 handbag and gold Rolex watch stolen in a street raid.
She was targeted outside an Italian restaurant in Alderley Edge, Cheshire, at 10pm on March 29.
Earlier this year Liam Ross, 25, of Wibsey, West Yorks, was charged with the robbery.
Last week the case was discontinued after the Crown Prosecution Service offered no evidence, records show.
At Chester crown court, Ross pleaded guilty to a separate charge of producing cannabis and was jailed for 24 months.
We can now report that in 2021 he was jailed for seven years and three months for burglary.
Melanie, a pharmacist, has lived in the UK since 2023 when Cameroon star Onana, 29, joined United from Inter Milan.
Ms Kamayou has been married to Onana since 2023.
Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney have all called Alderley Edge home.
Former Liverpool stars Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jordan Henderson previously lived there, while the champions’ current captain Virgil van Dijk has also been spotted in the area.
