“Over the past 24 hours, Harry has received a serious threat to his family home,” a spokesperson for Maguire said.
“He reported this to the police who are currently investigating the matter.
“The safety of his family and those around him is obviously Harry’s number one priority.
“He will continue to prepare for this weekend’s game as usual and we won’t be commenting in more detail at this time.”
The bomb threat is the latest issue for Maguire, who has been the subject of scathing criticism from pundits and mockery from England fans this season.
Maguire was part of United’s side beaten 4-0 by rivals Liverpool on Tuesday.
He must then feature when United travel to Arsenal on Saturday for a crucial Premier League clash in the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League.
United, who have slipped to sixth in the Premier League, announced on Thursday the appointment of Ajax boss Erik Ten Hag as their new manager from next season.
