MAN Utd club officials paid for a cab to take a gran home after she was involved in a crash with Marcus Rashford.
The 74-year-old collided with the 25-year-old striker while returning home after watching her granddaughter.
Following the team’s 1-0 victory over Burnley on Saturday, Rashford’s £700,000 Rolls Royce was completely destroyed in the disaster near Carrington.
Along with club captain Bruno Fernandes, who had noticed his teammate’s damaged motor, he halted to assist the woman.
The club doctor for United examined Rashford and offered the five-grandchild grandmother medical assistance.
Additionally, club representatives paid for her 15-mile cab ride home.
Rashford was granted a leave of absence from training as her three children reportedly planned to visit the hospital for a checkup.
According to a source, the woman was returning home after watching over her granddaughter. When it’s raining, like it was, she drives even more cautiously and carefully.
“The airbags deployed as a result of the impact. She was incredibly shaken and perplexed. She doesn’t like football and was unaware of Marcus Rashford.
Both drivers were breathalyzed by police.
Police decided not to call an ambulance since the female driver indicated she did not want to go to the hospital, and no arrests were made.
The players had just returned by coach to United’s Aon training complex when the tragedy occurred in a 40 mph zone on Carrington Spur.
The striker posted on Instagram about United’s victory on the road, writing: “3 points on the road! I’m fine, guys, and I appreciate the messages.
United continued, “Marcus is ok. It was an unintentional collision, and thankfully neither party was hurt.
