Manchester United footballer Marcus Rashford has admitted speeding on a motorway, court officials have confirmed.

The striker was caught exceeding the 70mph speed limit in his Rolls-Royce car on the M60 in Manchester in December 2023.

The exact speed Rashford was travelling at was not available on the court record.

He could face a hefty fine or a driving ban at a hearing expected to take place on 27 September.

'Rest and reset'

Rashford missed out on selection for the England squad in the upcoming Euro 2024 tournament after a difficult season, when he scored eight times for United.

At the end of May, he tweeted he would take time away from social media “for a few weeks… to rest and reset mentally after a challenging season”.

Rashford was also involved in a car crash after returning to the Manchester United training base in Carrington in September following a match.

After collecting his own car he was involved in a collision with another car.

He did not require medical attention and no arrests were made.

Rashford's representatives have been contacted for comment.
