Marcus Rashford had a minor unfortunate entanglement with authorities after he was fined for speeding.

The incident was reported to have occurred in May last year, after the Manchester United striker was found to have exceeded the limit of 20 miles per hour while driving through the city centre.

The Mirror reports that the England international pled guilty to the charges and has since been fined €574 by the Manchester Magistrates' Court. He has also been handed a six-point penalty on his licence.

How England's penalty system works

The penalty point system differs from country to country. A driver can be suspended from driving for at least three years if his/her points exceed 12 - with the striker now halfway to that reality.

The Sun reports that Rashford was driving his Mercedes G VRM when the incident happened. The report further claims that the 25-year-old has since sold the car.

Rashford has been the most in-form player in the world after the World Cup break, having only failed to find the back of the net in three games.

He recently inspired a Man United comeback, with the team wrestling from two goals down to secure a point against a struggling Leeds United at Old Trafford.

Ten Hag refuses fine payment

Sticking with rules and authorities, Man United manager, Erik ten Hag has established a strict culture at the club and his code has no exceptions.

Despite all his glory of being one of the so-called GOATs, Cristiano Ronaldo fell out with the coach over disciplinary issues and Rashford was dropped after missing a team meeting.

However, Sports Brief reported on ten Hag not following his rules after appearing late for a press conference, comically declining to pay a fine and blaming his tardiness on technical issues.
