    She was very shaken but unhurt following the incident near United’s training complex at around midnight.
    Rashford’s Rolls-Royce knocked down a traffic light camera post in the crash.
    The England ace had just left United’s training ground in Carrington on his way home from his side’s 1-0 Premier League win at Burnley.
    The collision sent his 2.5-ton vehicle — which has a top speed of 155mph — into the post.

    A source said: “Both drivers were badly shaken.
    “Marcus immediately checked to see if the woman was okay and swapped details.”
    Maintenance engineer Peter Laycock, 36, caught the aftermath of the accident on his mobile phone after arriving at the scene at around 12.20am.
    Peter said: “There were loads of police blocking the road asking cars to turn around because there was debris all over the road.

    “I could see guys in United clothes who must have come from the training ground. There were a lot of bystanders saying, ‘It’s ­Marcus Rashford’s car’.”
    Footage showed his car with pieces of the rear bumper ripped off and strewn on the side of the road as hazard lights flashed.
    Police breathalysed both drivers.
    No arrests were made and cops decided not to call an ambulance as the female driver said she did not want to go to hospital.
    The accident happened in a 40mph zone on Carrington Spur near United’s Aon training complex — where players had returned by coach just before midnight.

    Another source said: “The woman was on her way home from baby­sitting her grand-daughter. She’s a cautious, careful driver and even more so when it’s raining — which it was.
    “The impact caused the airbags to go off. She was very, very shaken and confused. She’s not a football fan and didn’t have any idea who Marcus Rashford is.”
    Club captain Bruno Fernandes soon arrived and checked on both his team-mate and the pensioner.
    United’s club doctor checked over Rashford and offered medical aid to the gran of five.
    Club officials paid for a taxi to take her 15 miles home.
    Her three children were understood to be arranging a hospital check-up, while Rashford was excused from training.
    And in a post on Instagram which referred to United’s away win, the striker wrote: “3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages.”

    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.

    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.

    In recent months they have located and recovered a range of Ferraris and Aston Martins.
    A Rolls-Royce Cullinan recovered during recent operations was worth more than £360,000 alone.
