Man Utd player has Rolls-Royce seized by police

A Man Utd player has had his Rolls-Royce seized by police this week over having a French number plate, it’s been revealed.

Officers clocked Paul Pogba in his Wraith Black Badge on the M56 and stopped him when he exited near Manchester Airport.

Greater Manchester Police took the vehicle away and the midfielder was loaded into the back of the police car on the A4538 near Cheshire based Hale.

It is widely known foreign vehicles that have been in the United Kingdom for more than six months in a year must be registered with the DVLA and fitted with British number plates.

But if the owner is a UK resident they must register their car within two weeks of importing it.

Photos were published,  show Pogba’s car pulled over on the road near his mansion at 1pm on Thursday afternoon.

A witness told The Sun: “We noticed the car going past us on the motorway because it really stands out, but we had no idea who was in it.

“It was already indicating off when the police pulled in behind it and then put the blue lights on after they were safely off the motorway.

“We couldn’t believe it when we saw the driver was Paul Pogba. It looked like he did everything that was asked.

“We wondered what it was all about, he didn’t look like he was speeding or anything.”

He will have seven days to get his car back and pay £150 as well as £20 for every day it’s held. That kind of money is nothing compared to the £15million a year he earns at Old Trafford.

He must show proof of having insurance and evidence that he owns the special edition motor at the police station in order to reclaim it.

A source close to the star said: “He just needs to change his number plate.

“Once he’s done that police are happy for him to take it back on the roads.”

Greater Manchester Police said: “At around 12.55pm, police on a routine patrol in the Trafford area stopped a vehicle on Hale Road.

“The vehicle was seized under section 165 of the Road Traffic Act.

“A 27-year-old man has been reported for driving otherwise in accordance with a UK driving licence.”

The drama comes ahead of Manchester United’s first game back in the Premier League against Tottenham on Friday night, and yes, it will be televised.

In 2018, Pogba was caught doing 40mph in a 30mph limit and hauled before JPs in Preston in 2018.

He laughed after getting asked if he could afford the £350 fine and said “yes”.
