Manchester United and Scotland star Scott McTominay had a lucky escape after his luxury Range Rover was involved in a dramatic late-night collision in Manchester.
The £150,000 vehicle suffered significant damage in the incident, which occurred as the 27-year-old midfielder was driving through the city. Emergency services attended the scene, though McTominay emerged physically unharmed from the wreckage.
United Star's Close Call
Eyewitnesses described a chaotic scene as the footballer's high-performance SUV collided with another vehicle. "There was a loud bang and then smoke coming from the engine," one onlooker reported. "McTominay looked shaken but walked away under his own power."
Vehicle Left Undriveable
The impact left McTominay's customised Range Rover Sport with:
- Severe front-end damage
- Deployed airbags
- Broken axles
- Extensive bodywork scratches
Police confirmed they attended the incident but no arrests were made. A spokesperson stated: "We were called to reports of a two-vehicle collision. Officers attended and ensured everyone's safety."
Football Focus Unaffected
United officials have confirmed the incident won't affect McTominay's availability for upcoming matches. The academy graduate has been a key player for Erik ten Hag's side this season, scoring crucial goals in both Premier League and Champions League campaigns.
Fans flooded social media with relief messages after news of the crash broke. One supporter tweeted: "Just glad Scotty's okay - cars can be replaced, our midfield dynamo can't!"
The incident serves as another reminder of the dangers professional athletes face off the pitch, following similar high-profile crashes involving Premier League stars in recent years.
