The police seized the Rolls-Royce of Manchester United’s star, Paul Pogba, after stopping him for driving the luxury car with a French number plate.
According to The Sun UK, police officers pulled over Pogba driving his Wraith Black Badge on the M56 and stopped him as he exited near Manchester Airport on Thursday.
The special edition car was then seized by the police on the A4538 near Hale, Cheshire, while Pogba was taken into the back of the patrol car.
Under UK laws, foreign cars that have been in Britain for more than six months in a year must be registered with the DVLA and fitted with UK plates. If the owner is a UK resident, they must register their car within two weeks of importing it.
Pogba, 27, will need to pay £150 within seven days to reclaim his car, or else he will have to pay an additional £20 for each day it is held in police custody.
A witness recounted to The Sun: “We noticed the car passing 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.”
