Man United star Marcus Rashford admits dashing in his Rolls-Royce on the M60
Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has admitted to speeding on while driving on a motorway in his Rolls-Royce, court officials have confirmed.
The out-of-form 26-year-old, who owns a fleet of luxury cars, was caught exceeding the 70mph speed limit on the M60 in Manchester on December 12, 2023. The exact speed that Rashford, who is not part of Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad was travelling at was not available on the court record.
It has, however, been confirmed that the scorer of 83 league goals for the once-great club, has admitted to the offence. On September 27, under the Single Justice Procedure, a single magistrate will issue the penalty without a court hearing and the defendant, public or press being present.

He could now face a hefty fine or a driving ban another month into the upcoming Premier League season. Rashford failed to be included in Gareth Southgate’s Euros squad after enduring a difficult season, scoring just eight times for United in all competitions.
Awarded an MBE in 2021 for his charity work, Rashford recently said he is planning to take some time to reset mentally after acknowledging he has endured a “challenging season”.
He thanked fans for their support, telling his seven million followers on X, formerly Twitter, he would be coming off social media to “rest and reset”. The speeding incident came three months after he was left unhurt after a car crash in September last year.

Manchester United players had returned to their Carrington training base on the team bus following their Premier League victory over Burnley at Turf Moor. After collecting their own cars and setting off for home Rashford, in one of his £700,000 Rolls-Royce cars, was involved in a collision with another car.
Emergency services attended the scene, but Rashford did not require medical attention and no arrests were made. Rashford owns several Rolls-Royce cars, including a £390,000 Black Badge Cullinan and a Cullinan Blue Shadow.
He also reportedly owns a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante. Mr Rashford’s representatives have been contacted for comment.
