Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has been slapped with a six-month driving ban after he tried to dupe the police with a fake identity.

According to Goal, the Man United academy graduate has spent much of the summer jetting around the world as he hunts for a new club.

The 30-year-old endured a testing spell at the City Ground last term, with injury struggles limiting him to just 20 appearances across all competitions.

His on-pitch struggles have seemingly spilt over to off the pitch, with the ex-United ace now banned from the road for six months.

BBC Sport reports that Lingard was charged on Friday, July 28, with failing to provide details about the identity of the driver of his Range Rover after it was caught speeding in August 2022.

The former England international appeared at Manchester Magistrates’ Court to admit the offence at a brief hearing.

His representative argued that the football star was not driving his car at the time of the offence but missed a letter asking for details.

However, he was found liable to the charges pressed against him and was subsequently banned and fined for the offence.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard took some time off his footballing woes to enjoy the lush beaches of Barbados.

Lingard, who is currently without a club after seeing his £200,000-a-week contract with Nottingham Forest run out, shared snaps of himself in Barbados alongside a stunning lass identified as Yana Watts.

Despite uncertainty over his future, Lingard chose to unwind a little ahead of the summer, enjoying the Caribbean sun with Watts, who has been in Barbados for over a year if her Instagram activity is anything to go by.
