A Manchester United icon has been banned from his local tip after he was reportedly involved in a “raging row” with staff.
Nicky Butt, who was part of the famed Class of 92, was left seething at staff when his Range Rover was deemed to be a commercial vehicle – due to the fact his seats were down. However, Butt still dumped his “smelling bags” before being chased by a worker.
According to The Sun, Butt said: “There’s this guy at the gate bit, and he flags me down and goes, ‘Put your windows down I need to look in the back of your car’. I’m going, ‘What for?’.

“I’ve got a lot of crap from the house, bit of cardboard…I missed the bin man last week, so I’ve got a few smelly bags.
“So I put the windows down, obviously my seats were down and apparently I’m not going in because it’s a commercial van. So I’m raging, literally. I’m putting a bit of cardboard in the tip.”
Butt also claimed he was told he was “sneaking” rubbish into the tip due to the blacked out windows of his Range Rover.

He added: “I thought, well, I’m there now, I’m gonna go for it. So I’ve got up the ramp, I see this bloke getting up…trying to chase me up the hill, but he’s got his walkie-talkie out.
“So I’ve literally got up the top, throw all the bags out, and I’m going back down the hill, and he’s going mad at me. Anyway, I’m banned from the tip.”
Butt was an integral part of the United side in the 1990s, where he won six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League before leaving for Newcastle in 2004.
He spent a further six years at St James’ Park, including one on loan at Birmingham City, before hanging up his boots after a move to China.
In his retirement, he has held various roles at United and held a stake in Salford City – where he served as CEO between 2022 and 2024.
