Manchester United Defender Harry Maguire Faces Fine After Latest Incident

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire has been banned from driving for 56 days and fined £1052 (USD 1299) after being caught speeding twice in three days. Maguire was caught driving his Range Rover at 85mph in a 50mph zone coming out of a tunnel on Wilmslow Road, near Manchester Airport, in March 2024. The 31-year-old England international pleaded guilty to the offence in Bolton Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, October 2nd.

Solicitor Gwyn Lewis, appearing on Maguire's behalf in court, said: "Of course the speed is wholly excessive and I fully accept that."

The court heard at the time of the March offence, Maguire had three penalty points on his licence, relating to an offence in 2021.

On March 7 last year, two days after the incident, Maguire was caught speeding again and had since received three penalty points.

"He was offered a speed awareness course but unfortunately because he was away from this country in the summer he wasn't able to take up the course," Lewis said.
