MARCUS Rashford’s £700,000 Rolls-Royce had to be towed off a motorway following a tyre blow-out.
The on-loan Aston Villa forward, 27, was on England duty when the car broke down on the M60 on Friday. It was not known who was driving. The posh motor was stranded for more than an hour at the spot near where another of his Rolls was written off in a 2023 crash.
The vehicle was so badly wrecked, Rashford was forced to flog it for a hugely discounted £184,000 at auction.
The forward then replaced it with an almost identical car in May last year — opting for white instead of grey.
A source said: “Rashford hasn’t had much luck with his Rolls.
“The first one was written off and then the second one breaks down.
“He’ll be questioning the £1.4million he’s splashed out on two identical cars. Let’s hope he has more luck on the pitch.”
Rashford’s first Mansory Wraith had only 1,000 miles on the clock when it was involved in a collision as he left United’s training ground in Carrington.
He’d been on his way home from his side’s 1-0 Premier League win at Burnley when his 2.5-ton vehicle ploughed into a pole on a traffic island, claiming another driver veered into his lane.
Photos showed the car took a pounding in the crash, with extensive damage to the front, left front wing and a mangled rear left wheel and bumper.
Luckily both drivers escaped without injury. — Sun.
