      Rashford and his teammates had returned from Turf Moor aboard a team coach.
      Footage from the aftermath showed Rashford’s badly-dented motor on the side of the road.
      A pole on a traffic island was toppled just metres away.
      Rashford was left shaken-up but has no serious injuries, a source told The Sun.

      Breaking his silence in an Instagram post, he said: “3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”
      A United spokesman said: “Marcus is fine and was not injured. It was an accidental collision as he left the training ground after returning from Burnley.
      “It was an incident involving his car and one driven by a member of the public.
      “Thankfully both were uninjured and no ambulance was required.”

      Cops rushed to Carrington Spur but no arrests were made, and no ambulances were called.
      Both Rashford and the other driver were breathalysed as a matter of routine.
      The star forward’s captain Bruno Fernandes came across the scene and urgently stopped to offer help.
      Pictures from the area today show traffic cones and barriers around a traffic island littered with debris.
      Rashford and his Man Utd teammates had just beaten Burnley 1-0 thanks to a brilliant Fernandes goal.
      Before the game, Rashford said: “One good result, one good performance, can be a game-changer at this club.
      “It’s a difficult position and I’m not as happy as I’d like to be, but there’s only one way to get back this happiness is to seek results.
      “We know the effect that a victory can have on the team and then it’s up to the players to show consistency.
      “That’s what we lacked. Last year, we were very consistent at home, but very irregular away.”

      Rashford owns three Rolls-Royces – the £700k Black Badge Wraith involved in the crash, a £390k Black Badge Cullinan and just last month he bought a £560k Cullinan Blue Shadow.
      Rashford also recently bought a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante.
      It comes after Rashford was one of two Man U players to turn down the captaincy under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a source said.
      In a no-holds-barred interview this week Solskjaer said he was “disappointed” when two players rejected the armband.
      However he refused to name names.

      Now a source has revealed: “Paul Pogba was offered it but said he wanted to leave the club so turned it down.
      “Rashford was also asked to take the captaincy but he said he didn’t think he was ready for it.”

      We live by a Premier League stadium… matchdays are awful with horror parking & black market criminals lurking everywhere

      by

      PEOPLE living by a Premier League stadium said matchdays are awful with horror parking and black market criminals everywhere. Fed-up neighbours said they are battling daily with chaotic traffic and people parking on their streets.

      Loud crowds pack the streets around Aston Villa FC’s Villa Park stadium in Birmingham on matchday.
      Thousands of Villans flock to the 42,640 capacity stadium plonking their vehicles on public streets at the rear of Aston railway station.
      But locals in the residential area by the stadium including Queens Road, Church Lane, Gladstone Street and Grosvenor Road are living a parking hell.
      Frustrated residents in the neighbourhood around the stadium said they are facing daily battles with chaotic traffic and illegal parking.

      Although fans parking illegally are now being slapped with a £50 fine – locals say it’s not enough.
      Unashamed opportunists are now taking advantage of the high parking demand and have created a black market selling spots at ridiculous prices.
      They have even set up barriers charging matchgoers £5 to park on public land illegally.
      According to locals, The Salvation Army’s car park barrier was recently smashed and used as match day parking ahead of the game against Crystal Palace.
      Most read in Football
      Councillor and fellow Villa fan Lee Marsham said the behaviour is unacceptable and selfish to residents and fans.
      He told Birmingham Live: “Home games are becoming like the Wild West with criminal activity, a black market and inconsiderate parking which impacts residents and fans.
      “I’m pleased that my calls for more parking enforcement have been heard as I’ve seen cars being ticketed but it’s not enough.”
      Earlier this month, Mayor Andy Street and the club promised to redevelop the area surrounding the stadium to a more spacious one with enough transportation links for supporters.
      He promised they were drawing up an action plan to develop the “overcrowded” Witton station into one that’s “suitable and spacious”.
      Despite the vow, supporters continue to battle against the terrible traffic in and around Villa Park grounds pre and post-match.
      Meanwhile, angry locals said to have to wait hours to board packed trains during evenings at Witton and Aston stations.
      Mr Marsham claimed the plans aren’t enough to tackle illegal parking and slammed the mayor for “inaction”.
      He added: “Public transport isn’t good enough, and Andy Street has failed to act with only a study on upgrading Witton Station with no guarantee of funding and no dedicated match buses like at Edgbaston.”
      The councillor has now called the club to implement more car parking spaces to stop the unsustainable situation.
      He fumed: “The Mayor needs to do more, he’s had six years of inaction.”
      But the Mr Street said to continue working on the transformation of the area.
      The Mayor said: “We’re working on how best to redevelop the station by undertaking a feasibility study that will give us a clear indication of the funding required and the options ahead of us.
      “This is just the first step as we will then need to put together a strong business case and find the money to make this happen but nonetheless it does bring us a step closer to delivering a premier railway station.”
      It comes as the club plans to splash £100million on a new stadium – but residents slammed organisers should spend the money cleaning up their streets.
      Many locals litter and road closures are also causing havoc on match days.
      One neighbour Aysha Kamal, 18, said: “Every game brings with it a lot of broken glass and food packaging and it’s just left.

      “We have a little park next to our house but it’s always full of cans and bottles and the bins are overflowing days after the game.”

      We live by Premier League ground – club wants to spend £100m on new stadium but can’t be bothered cleaning up streets

      by

      RESIDENTS living by a Premier League ground said the club wants to spend £100million on a new stadium – but can’t be bothered cleaning up their streets.The Birmingham neighbourhood of Aston is dominated by Villa Park – the 43,000-seat home of Aston Villa.

      Many locals are proud Villa fans – but said that parking problems, litter and road closures all cause havoc on match days.
      The club plans to splash out over £100million on the “first phase of improvements” to the ground, transforming the area.
      People in the neighbourhood said the money would be better spent cleaning it up.
      Aysha Kamal, 18, said: “Every game brings with it a lot of broken glass and food packaging and it’s just left.

      “We have a little park next to our house but it’s always full of cans and bottles and the bins are overflowing days after the game. 
      She added: “We can’t enjoy the space. Rats enjoy the space but that’s all.
      “I don’t get how they can spend millions on players and wages but not sort out the rubbish. 
      “Fans fill up our bins as they pass by and they don’t really consider that this is a residential area.
      Most read in Football
      “They are too busy shouting and screaming.  
      “For us it means making sure we know when a game is on so if we have to do any shopping, we do it early.”
      Neighbour Fred Rainey, 70, said: “I’ve been here for 40 years and the litter is terrible.
      “All the cones and signs are just left around for the next game and the bins in the park are normally overflowing. 
      “Nobody thinks about us residents. They put Motocross on in the stadium during the summer and they had to put down sand and grit down to make it happen.  
      “All our windows were covered in dust and about a week later we got a letter from the Council warning us that there might be some dust around. 
      “I’m used to it now but it’s not great. Nowadays they close the road from the night before the game so you can’t get a taxi or go out for a pint.”
      PARKING MAD
      Villa Park opened in 1897 – and was for many years the alternative to Wembley for FA Cup semi-finals.
      Perry Henry, 62, said: “Personally, I love it. They shut the road so there’s no traffic and all you see is fans going up and down. It’s great to be part of it. 
      “The bigger disruption we have is from concerts where they don’t close the road and people park wherever they like. 
      “They don’t care if they’re blocking people in, they ignore double-yellow lines and leave empty cans on our wall. It’s down to law enforcement. 
      “There is no respect today from little kids to grown ups and you’re frightened to say anything. 
      “I have heard that Villa want to improve the area, bring in fun areas for kids and clean up the parks.
      “I hope it happens and that the Council’s problems don’t hold it up.”
      MET THEIR MATCH
      Sarah Bibi, 28, said: “We just get a lot of rubbish, noise and traffic. As soon as Villa are playing we are stuck in the house, sometimes literally because people have just parked across our drive. 
      “Some people make a sideline out of it. People hang around wearing bibs so they look like stewards and then offer “protection” for peoples’ cars.
      “We are all massive football fans in our house but it is shocking how dirty the area looks – and you would think the club could do something about it.”  
      Denise Farrell, 63, said: “You literally cannot move round here for cars on match days.  
      “I feel sorry for people in wheelchairs because they park up on the curbs and there is no way they can get around.  
      “Why can’t Aston Villa do something about it? They’ve got enough money and it’s getting worse. 
      “People take no notice of signs, no notice of lines and there’s no need for them to be driving.
      “There are two stations nearby and the number 11 bus which goes all around Birmingham.”
      Aston Villa FC has been contacted for comment.

      On its website, the club said: “The area’s regeneration will begin with a £100m+ investment in the first phase of improvements to Villa Park.
      “It will contribute an estimated £119.9m to the West Midlands economy each year, creating hundreds of jobs during and post-construction – and attracting 1.65m visitors to the local area annually.”

      Ex-England star Jesse Lingard apologises as he admits drink-driving in his £200k Lamborghini – and is fined £57k

      by

      EX-ENGLAND star Jesse Lingard has apologised after he admitted drink-driving in his £200,000 Lamborghini – and was fined £57,000.The former Manchester United footballer, 30, had only owned the flash motor for three months when he was stopped by cops on July 8 in Manchester while double the alcohol limit.

      Tara Riley, prosecuting, said that an officer who was following his Lamborghini Uris became aware it was being driven at speed.
      The the officer’s “initial belief”, she said, was Lingard’s vehicle was racing another high-performance car.
      “He doesn’t believe 100 per cent they were racing but they were driving at speed,” she said.
      She said the officer spoke to Lingard at the roadside and believed he was under the influence of alcohol due to his behaviour.

      A breath test revealed 76 micrograms of alcohol in 100 millilitres of breath – the legal limit is 35 micrograms per 100 millilitres of breath.
      Frank Rogers, representing Lingard, described the player’s actions as “out of character”.
      Mr Rogers said Lingard had initially been out for a meal with friends and only drunk soft drinks.
      He’d intended going home but had then received a call from a “fellow professional footballer” and driven to Manchester to have a “few drinks” with him.
      Most read in Football
      Mr Rogers said Lingard had “mistakenly” believed he had left sufficient time to drive home, describing it as “spontaneous decision”.
      A personal assistant, who would normally drive Lingard in such circumstances, wasn’t working, he said.
      Mr Rogers denied Lingard had been “racing” and the two-“high-performance cars” were sitting at lights at the time
      He said Lingard had shown remorse for his actions and it was “apparent how heavily this weighs on him”.
      Mr Rogers said that his client would pay a “heavy price” in the future as his career and family – to whom he has large financial commitments- would be impacted.
      He added that Lingard – who is currently without a club after being released by Nottingham Forest – was training with West Ham, who were considering offering him a contract, and other offers were “in the pipeline”.
      When pressed by district judge Joanne Hirst how much Lingard currently earned, Mr Rogers told the court it was £249,000 a month, or £57,000 a week.
      The judge told Lingard the case had aggravating features, including  him being twice over the limit, saying: “One wonders who would have cared for your entire family had you killed yourself or someone else.”
      The judge told him that he would be punished in the same way as anyone else before the court – a week’s earnings.
      She also added a £2,000 victim surcharge, meaning Lingard must £59,000 in total, and banned him from driving for 18-months, to run concurrently with an existing six-month ban.
      Lingard said in a statement: “I want to acknowledge my mistake and publicly apologise for my unacceptable actions.
      “I completely understand and accept the consequences of my mistake by putting the lives of others at risk.
      “I am sorry to all my fans anyone who has followed and supported me throughout my career.
      “I accept the sentence of the court and the fine.”
      It is the second time Lingard will appear before magistrates in less than two months.
      He was previously banned from driving after he failed to name the driver when his car was caught speeding.
      The midfielder’s Range Rover was flashed by a speed camera on the A56 in Trafford last year.
      Lingard, 30, then failed to give police the the name of the driver when he received a speeding notice at his home.
      He pleaded guilty to failing to provide information about who was driving his vehicle at Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
      The star was fined £900 with a further £560 in costs and banned from the roads for six months.
      READ MORE SUN STORIES
      The ban came under a “totting up” process as Lingard already had points on his licence from two previous speeding offences.
      His lawyer claimed he was not the driver but missed the letter telling him to provide the drivers’ details as it went to his old address in Manchester while he was then living in Nottingham.

      Footballer, 33, who took cops on high speed chase before crashing 100k Range Rover and running from scene dodges jail

      by

      A FOOTBALLER who led police on a high speed chase in a £100,000 Range Rover ran off after smashing into a parked car.Gary Madine, 33, who has played up front for Sheffield Wednesday, Bolton Wanderers and Blackpool, roared around in his Range Rover with police on his tail.

      Locals were asleep as Madine sped through Birtley, Gateshead during the early hours of April 3.
      Madine, who has previous convictions for violence, decided to floor the SUV rather than pull over when cops arrived.
      Newcastle Crown Court heard how Madine behaved in a “ridiculously stupid” way when officers turned up to reports of a disturbance in the early hours of the morning.
      Mark Atkins, prosecuting, said: “The vehicle began to make off and ignored instructions by the police to stop.
      “The police officer got into his car and followed the defendant and activated his blue lights and siren.
      “During the police pursuit, he drove dangerously. There’s footage of the pursuit from the dash cam of the police car.
      “During the chase, the defendant collided with a white Ford Focus parked outside a house on a path.”
      The impact of that crash caused a post box to be knocked over and caused damage to the Ford and the Range Rover.
      Most read in Football
      Madine tried to continue driving but was unable to do so due to the damage, and after around 40m he got out and ran off, along with his passenger.
      However as he was the registered keeper of the car, he was easily traced. However he failed to respond to a notice requesting information on who was driving at the time.
      The 33-year-old, of Bede Way, Birtley, who has four previous convictions for violence but a clean driving licence, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, failing to stop after an accident, failing to stop for police and failing to provide information regarding the driver of a vehicle.
      Recorder Paul Reid sentenced him to six months suspended for 18 months with 250 hours unpaid work and a 12 month driving ban with a requirement he sit an extended test before he can get his licence back.
      The judge said: “It’s a mystery why people in your position do this, I suspect you made off from the police because you didn’t want to be breathalysed but I disregard that, the circumstances of this are bad enough.
      “I’m impressed with the pre-sentence report and character references and the letter you have written yourself. You described this as an act of stupidity. It’s fortunate it didn’t result in worse damage or injury to other people.”
      Shaun Routledge, defending, said Madine had “panicked”, adding: “2023 has been a difficult year for him, his relationship of some years ending and he suffered a serious injury which led to nine months of rehabilitation and not being able to perform the job he has done for many years. He was feeling very low in April.”
      Mr Routledge said Madine’s “profession depends on his full recovery”, adding: “There are offers from other clubs.

      “Blackpool have been very supportive in terms of rehab. It may be he gets a way back into what he has done all his adult life but he may not. He realises what he did was ridiculously stupid.”

      Pro footballer who crashed his car and smashed into driver after taking laughing gas is jailed

      A PRO footballer has been jailed for a year for causing a horrific car crash after taking laughing gas.Flynn Clarke’s BMW swerved into the opposite carriageway in April last year – and into a motorhome.

      A court heard the Norwich City player, 20, lost control after clipping a kerb while exiting a roundabout.
      The driver of the motorhome which suffered significant injuries, while a male passenger in the BMW said he feared he’d never walk again.
      Clarke, who has also played for Scotland’s under-21 side, admitted three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving.
      Peterborough Crown Court heard he also accepts having used nitrous oxide – more commonly known as laughing gas.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      However, there were “unclear and conflicting accounts” whether it had been taken at the time or immediately prior to the collision.
      Jailing Clarke for 12 months and banning him from driving for 30 months, Judge Sean Enright said his actions had led to “immense harm”.
      Prosecutors said witnesses had described the young professional footballer driving in an “indecisive manner” and struggling to stay in his lane prior to the crash, which occurred on the A47 near Thorney, Cambs.
      He was driving with his girlfriend in the front passenger seat and three male friends in the back, the court was told.
      Most read in Football
      Clarke’s BMW then swerved into the opposite carriageway and ploughed head-on into a motorhome.
      The owner of the motorhome vehicle, a HGV driver, said he has been unable to work since the crash which left him with a fractured pelvis, knee, hip and ankle.
      He has since been forced to undergo multiple operations including a hip replacement.
      In a victim impact statement read to the court, he added that his injuries had left him unable to do things he previously took for granted – including playing football with his grandson.
      The victim said: “Over the last 16 months I have been in pain and discomfort.
      “This incident sends a shiver up my back when I think of it, and how the consequences should have been very different.”
      A 21-year-old passenger in Clarke’s BMW told the court he’d feared he may never walk again after being airlifted to hospital with internal bleeding, having sustained a broken collar bone, sternum and vertebrae.
      The young man added he could be in pain for the rest of his life and that, while Clarke did not set out to cause the crash, he “has to live with the consequences”.
      Clarke’s defence counsel, Tommy Dominguez KC, said the crash had occurred due to a “momentary lapse of concentration” and added that Clarke had shown “significant remorse”.
      “He has not looked to offer any excuses,” he said. “He has taken full responsibility for his actions.”
      The court was also told Norwich City was likely to terminate the footballer’s employment if he was sent to prison.
      Judge Enright also banned Clarke from driving for 30 months.
      Clarke, born in Peterborough, Cambs., was signed by Norwich in 2021 after just a handful of senior appearances for Peterborough United.
      He had a brief loan spell with League Two club Walsall last year and was signed on loan earlier this month by National League outfit Dagenham & Redbridge.
      He made his debut for Scotland’s U21 side in September last year and was on the score sheet during a 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland.

      In a statement, Norwich City said they would ‘”consider the matter internally in accordance with its own disciplinary procedure”.
      It is currently not illegal to possess or use nitrous oxide. However, earlier this week MPs voted in favour of making it a Class C drug. More

      A judge at Liverpool Magistrates’ Court fined Cole £3,340 and banned him from driving for six months.
      Former Arsenal and Chelsea star Cole was not present at court, with his guilty pleas entered through his lawyers.
      District Judge Timothy Bosworth said “bearing in mind his means” it was fitting that Cole paid the maximum fine of £1,000 for each offence.
      Cole had faced two other charges of failing to provide information about a driver – but they were dismissed after the prosecution formally offered no evidence.
      Read More Football
      Prosecutor Vincent Yip said that on March 11 last year Cole drove his Mercedes at 40mph down Leeds Street in Liverpool, which has a 30mph speed limit.
      On January 11 this year he drove a different Mercedes at 41mph down Garston Way, which has the same limit.
      Cole also failed to respond to a notice asking who was driving speeding car registered to him which went past a camera on December 11 last year.
      The judge said that Cole, currently the assistant manager of the England under-21 side, already had three points on his licence – with the new offences “totting up” more than 12 points.

      DJ Bosworth said: “As Mr Cole’s lawyers indicate, he is well aware of this – and does not seek to put forward any reasons why he should not be disqualified and being disqualified in absence.”
      He added that there was no requirement for Cole to attend proceedings – and that “no criticism attaches to him not being here today”. More

      Premier League stars’ luxury cars including Ferrari found in shipping containers on the way to Dubai after being stolen

      TWO Premier League stars have had their flash luxury cars returned to them after the vehicles were found in shipping containers headed for Dubai.The supercars recovered by the Essex Police’s Stolen Vehicle Intelligence Unit were a Ferrari and a Range Rover.

      So far this year, the force’s team has recovered 517 cars or parts of vehicles with a combined value of more than £16million.
      The two players, who have not been identified but have more than 100 international caps between them, had their cars stolen in neighbouring counties.
      The SVIU’s PC Paul Gerrish, PC Phil Pentelow and analyst Hannah Gerrish, tracked down the vehicles to shipping containers which were due to travel to Dubai from London Gateway Port in Thurrock.
      As yet, no arrests have been made in connection to the vehicle thefts.
      Read More on Stolen Cars
      It’s thought once a car is stolen, thieves may look to quickly sell it on, even for a price well below its market value, or strip it for parts or even ship the whole vehicle  to areas such as the Middle East or Africa, where it can be sold for two or three times its cost in the UK.
      The thieves or handlers of the stolen vehicles may obtain false or cloned identities before selling it on to an unsuspecting member of the public in the UK or even distribute them to other criminals.
      Essex Police launched Operation Ignition this summer which saw the SVIU, Roads Policing and investigators work together to break up the criminal gangs behind the thefts.
      The SVIU has managed to return vehicles to hundreds of victims from family saloons to supercars.

      PC Gerrish said: “Every stolen car is important to us and we work as hard as we can to get them back to their owners.
      “When you phone someone up and tell them we’ve got their car with their kids’ car seats and the pushchair in the back, or other personal items, it’s hugely satisfying.
      “We are creating a hostile environment for car thieves. We know what to look for and we know how and where they operate.”
      One of the Premier League footballers went to the SVIU base to be reunited with his car and praised the team’s work.
      PC Pentelow said: “He was genuinely thankful and taken aback by the lengths we had gone to.
      “His car was clearly very dear to him, and he was very impressed with the service he’d had from the police.
      “Even though he plays for one of my team’s biggest rivals, he was a nice guy and down-to-earth. It was good to help him.”
      The SVIU team work with manufacturers including Jaguar Land Rover, Ford, BMW and Mercedes-Benz to improve vehicle security.
      The team recommends drivers learn about their car’s vulnerabilities by watching videos online and check the website Secured by Design to find recommended safety devices for your car and think about getting a Disklok.
      However, they say the biggest vulnerability is people leaving their vehicles unlocked.
      PC Pentelow said: “Double lock it and check it. We still see CCTV where people’s cars aren’t locked.”
      In July this year, the Essex Police’s SVIU team recovered cars and car parts worth £1m, in one of their most successful weeks ever.
      The unit recovered high-end cars including a Rolls-Royce, a Bentley Bentayga, alongside several Range Rovers and BMWs.
