As reported by SkySports, Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been banned from driving for six months and fined more than £30,000.
After being detained by police officials while driving his £170,000 Lamborghini Urus in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on June 23, the 24-year-old defender pleaded to drive while disqualified and without insurance.
He also pleaded guilty to failing to submit driver data for two speeding offences in Bradford, West Yorkshire, in September 2020, ahead of a scheduled trial.
As warning letters were delivered to his former home in Croydon, London, Wan-Bissaka’s lawyers claimed the right-back ignored the Yorkshire’s driving issues.

Due to his failure to respond, a six-month penalty was given in his absence on June 18 at Leeds Magistrates’ Court, just five days before his Lamborghini Urus was seized by police on the A34 after authorities stopped him, according to Manchester Magistrates’ Court.
Wan-Bissaka, who lives in Hale, Greater Manchester, with his partner and 12-month-old child, was given a six-month driving restriction today. The English defender was fined a hefty fee of £30,000 for driving while disqualified, as well as £1,500 for failing to provide information on the speeding offences.
A victim surcharge fee of £190 and court costs of £160 was also imposed on the footballer. The insurance violation did not result in a further penalty.
