Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford has admitted speeding on the motorway, court officials have confirmed.
Rashford was caught breaking the 70mph speed limit in his Rolls-Royce luxury vehicle on the M60 in Manchester on December 12, 2023.
Sky News points out that an official at HM Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) confirmed details of this development to the news agency.
Information about the exact speed at which Rashford was driving was not available in court records.
The Carrington Academy graduate is now at serious risk of being banned from driving or facing a hefty fine.
Sky further notes on the matter: “There will be no hearing where the accused, the press or the public can be present, as on September 27 the offense will be dealt with by a single magistrate, who will pass the sentence.”
The speeding incident came three months after Rashford escaped unscathed following a car crash in September.
The 26-year-old was in the driver’s seat of one of his £700,000 Rolls-Royce cars and was involved in a collision with another vehicle as he and his team-mates returned to Carrington after the win against Burnley at Turf Moor.
Fortunately, no one needed medical attention on that occasion. No arrests were made.
Rashford charging
Rashford was not included in Gareth Southgate’s provisional England squad for Euro 2024.
The Three Lions boss explained that there were others who enjoyed far better seasons than United and thus deserved to be in the team ahead of him.
At the end of last month, Rashford wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that he was taking some time off from social media to rest and recharge after an incredibly challenging season for him.
It’s time to take a break from social media for a few weeks. I plan to rest and mentally reset after a challenging season individually and collectively. Thanks to the fans who were with me through a difficult period. For those who didn’t just remember at United, we always stick together. 🙏🏾

In the 2023/24 season, he scored only eight goals and five assists in 43 appearances in all competitions. It was an incredible return for him and something he will undoubtedly be looking to improve on ahead of the new campaign.
