Of course, forking out the £12 required for a silver service down the car wash would be pennies for anyone who can afford a £165,000 Lambo.

The 2pm kick-off could see the return of Scott McTominay after Ole Gunnar Solskjaer intimated the Scot is getting back to full fitness.
Without the midfielder since Boxing Day due to a ligament issue, the boss said McTominay “might” be back for Sunday’s clash.
Mason Greenwood is also a doubt after missing Thursday’s draw at Club Brugge with illness while the trio of Paul Pogba, Marcus Rashford and Timothy Fosu-Mensah are all unavailable.
Ahead of the Premier League matchday, the Red Devils were sat just three points off fourth-place after a vital win away to Chelsea.

But that draw in Belgium has cut back their momentum amid a massive run of games.
Next week’s return leg will likely require Solskjaer to play a stronger team than he might have hoped, days before a trip to Everton.
Derby then lie in wait in the FA Cup before games with Manchester City, Tottenham and Sheffield United in the race for the Champions League.
