Man Utd: Harry Maguire faces mega fine for two incidents in £200k car in a matter of days | Football | Sport

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire will appear in court for speeding in his £200,000 Range Rover, marking the second time he has been fined in two months.

The 31-year-old driver was issued a penalty notice after he was spotted driving 150mph over the 80mph limit near Manchester Airport.

In September last year, Maguire was hit with more than £1,200 when the same 8-speed automatic, which could go from 0 to 60mph in just 5.8 seconds, was caught doing 68mph in a 60mph zone on the A616 near his home town. He was fined. He’s from Sheffield.

On Wednesday, the England centre-back, who lives in Wilmslow, Cheshire, was due to appear at Bolton Magistrates’ Court after records showed he pleaded guilty to his latest speeding charge last month.

It remains unclear what pace he was on on March 5 this year, just two days after witnessing his side’s 3-1 defeat. Manchester City inside Premier League.

A court document read: “Mr. Harry Jacob Maguire. We exceeded the 50 mph speed limit in contravention of the Local Traffic Order (manned equipment).

“On 5.3.2024. At Manchester, drove a motor vehicle, Land Rover Range Rover SUV D, on the A538 Wilmslow Road near Mill Lane, Ringway, subject to local traffic regulations. Manchester City Manchester City Council (Speed ​​Limits) (A538 Wilmslow Road) Order 2018 at a speed exceeding 50 miles per hour.”

“Contrary to the above local traffic order and sections 84 and 89(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and Schedule 2 of the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.”

At a hearing at Sheffield Magistrates’ Court in September, Maguire was reportedly fined £670, along with a £268 victim surcharge and £90 legal costs, bringing the total to £1,208.

It is said that the Red Devils No 5 has also had 3 points added to his licence. He pleaded guilty at the first opportunity, meaning he did not have to appear in court.

Interestingly, this incident occurred just two days before he missed the 2-0 rout of United. Premier League Victory against Everton at Old Trafford in March.

Maguire joined United in an £80 million transfer from Leicester City in 2019 and still carries the reputation of being the most expensive defender in football history.

However, in recent seasons Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez and others have fallen out of favor at Old Trafford. Matthijs de Ligt all favored by former manager Erik ten Hag.

Maguire was also left out of Lee Carsley’s final England squad due to injury concerns and remains on the sidelines ahead of matches against Greece and the Republic of Ireland in November.

But he has a strong track record in a back three, so could prove valuable to United’s new coach. Reuben Amorim and England manager Thomas Tuchel.
