MARCUS RASHFORD was handed a yellow card by a traffic warden after meeting a Manchester United team-mate for lunch.

The 26-year-old forward is struggling for form this season after producing a career best 32 goals in all competitions last term to finish the club’s top scorer.

He has scored just three times in all competitions for the Red Devils during the current campaign and now his bad luck appears to be following him off the pitch.

Rashford headed to the Juniper Restaurant in Wilmslow, Cheshire on Wednesday afternoon in order to meet fellow United player Tyrell Malacia.

The England international failed to notice that he had left his £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail sports car parked on double yellow lines outside of the establishment.

But it took just 15 minutes for an eagle-eyed warden to spot his foul play, and he duly issued a £60 parking ticket on the star’s motor, which has a top speed of 205mph.

And that left Rashford with a nasty surprise as he headed back out to his car after around an hour.

He is not the first, and probably not the last, footy ace from Manchester to be caught out on double yellows over recent months.

Man City manager Pep Guardiola had a hilarious exchange with a traffic warden after receiving a parking ticket in August.

But the Spaniard was not laughing as much when he was hit with another one just three months later.

And his players have also been caught offside when it comes to parking as well.

City attacker Jack Grealish and girlfriend Sasha Attwood’s night out wearing matching outfits at Sexy Fish was ruined when they were hit with a parking ticket.

And his club and England team-mate Kalvin Phillips also discovered a ticket on his £270k Lamborghini after a day out with partner Ashleigh Behan in the city centre earlier last year.
