Marcus Rashford has bought a customized Mercedes Vito Maybach worth £180,000 to serve as his new mode of transportation to training.
This decision came after the England superstar’s recent car crash involving his £700,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith.
The 25-year-old was driving home after Manchester United’s 1-0 victory over Burnley when he collided with a traffic island.
Fortunately, he escaped unscathed but was understandably shaken by the incident.
In light of this, Rashford has opted for a van with a chauffeur to shuttle him to and from Carrington, ultimately reducing his time behind the wheel and serving as a relief to United manager Erik ten Hag.
Meanwhile, Rashford will no doubt enjoy his time in the back of his luxurious tourer, which is equipped with a 40-inch television and a PlayStation.
The people carrier also offers various convenient features such as multiple plug sockets, USB charging ports, and wireless iPhone charging.
To add to the luxurious ambience, the interior is fitted with a galaxy ceiling featuring hundreds of twinkling stars and curtains for privacy.
Fans trolled Rashford over his new luxurious van
Recently, fans have commented on Rashford’s latest chauffeur-driven Mercedes worth £180,000.
Rashford, who had an outstanding 2022-23 season with 30 goals and 11 assists in 56 games across competitions, has struggled to replicate his previous form this season.
So far, he has only managed to score one goal and provide two assists in seven games across all competitions for Manchester United.
According to some fans, Rashford’s performance on the field may be compromised due to his indulgence in off-field luxuries and extravagant purchases.
A tweet from one of the fans reads: “Now I understand why he’s so unserious on the pitch.”
Another fan wrote: “All this money and he’s still drops stinker performance week in week out”
Despite his poor start to the season, Rashford’s position at Manchester United remains secured.
This is evidenced by his recent contract extension with United until 2028, reportedly earning him £325,000 per week (as reported by the BBC). The new wage offer will obviously put the Man United youngster a level higher to foot the bills of his glam lifestyle at ease.
One of the fans contended the underwhelming performance of the players, including Rashford is due to the overbloated weekly paychecks offered by the club
