Marcus Rashford reported in training in another Rolls-Royce worth £600,000 after crashing a £700,000 Rolls-Royce.

In an eventful turn of events, Manchester United’s star player, Marcus Rashford, reported back to the club’s training ground on Monday, just days after being involved in a car crash.

This development comes as a glimmer of hope for the club as they prepare to defend their Carabao Cup title. Rashford’s return to training follows a collision between his £600,000 Rolls-Royce and another £700,000 Rolls-Royce, driven by a 74-year-old woman, just outside the training complex.

The Car Crash Incident

The car crash occurred after Manchester United secured a 1-0 victory against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday night. Rashford, who arrived at Carrington in his damaged Rolls-Royce, is reported to be “fine,” and Greater Manchester Police are treating the matter as “non-serious.”

However, it remains uncertain whether Rashford will be fit to play in Tuesday’s Carabao Cup third-round tie against Crystal Palace at Old Trafford. Manager Erik ten Hag is expected to make several changes to the lineup.

United Manager’s Strategy

Erik ten Hag, known for giving his fringe first-team players a chance in the Carabao Cup, aims to replicate last season’s success when United clinched their first trophy under the Dutchman in February. United has been grappling with several injuries in recent weeks, but the return of key players like Mason Mount, Harry Maguire, Raphael Varane, and Sofyan Amrabat to training is a positive sign for the club.

Crystal Palace’s Challenges

On the other side of the pitch, Crystal Palace is also dealing with injury problems following a goalless draw with Fulham over the weekend. Manager Roy Hodgson may consider resting players in preparation for their upcoming league match against Manchester United on Saturday.

Details of the Crash

The car crash involved not only Rashford’s and the elderly woman’s Rolls-Royces but also caused damage to a traffic light post and bollard. The incident took place around midnight when the United squad had returned to their Carrington base by bus from Turf Moor.

Fortunately, both Rashford and the elderly woman were reported as unscathed but understandably shaken by the accident. Police officers conducted breathalyzer tests on both drivers at the scene. United’s team doctor assessed Rashford’s condition and offered medical assistance to the woman. The club even arranged for a taxi to take her home, as she preferred not to go to the hospital.

Remarkably, no arrests were made in the aftermath of the incident, and an ambulance was not called for the female driver. Rashford’s well-being was credited in part to his “incredibly robust” car, which protected him during the collision.

Humanitarian Gesture

Sources close to the incident revealed Rashford’s immediate concern was the well-being of the elderly woman. He checked on her and exchanged contact details, showcasing his character beyond the football field. The woman, who was simply on her way home from babysitting her granddaughter, was described as a cautious and careful driver. She had no prior knowledge of who Marcus Rashford was, highlighting the impact of the incident on a non-football fan.

Eyewitness Accounts

Several eyewitnesses at the scene provided their accounts of the crash. Peter Laycock, a maintenance engineer, arrived at the scene and captured footage of the aftermath. He described the presence of numerous police officers diverting traffic due to debris on the road. Bystanders recognized Rashford’s car, and the hazard lights were flashing as a result of the collision.

Another eyewitness, who was being directed by the police to a different route due to the crash, mentioned that Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes was quick to check on Rashford as he was heading home from the training ground.

Rashford’s Car Collection

Beyond his talents on the football field, Marcus Rashford is known for his passion for luxury cars. He recently added a third Rolls Royce, a £560,000 Cullinan Blue Shadow, to his impressive collection of supercars, which includes a £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail and a £350,000 Lamborghini Urus Performante.

In conclusion, Marcus Rashford’s return to Manchester United training after a car crash has brought a mix of relief and uncertainty to the club. While the incident was fortunately not serious in terms of injuries, the details surrounding his potential participation in the upcoming Carabao Cup tie remain uncertain.

Rashford’s humanitarian response to the elderly woman involved in the crash highlights his character off the field, and his impressive car collection showcases his taste for luxury. As United prepares to defend their Carabao Cup title, the team hopes for Rashford’s swift recovery and return to action.
