MARCUS RASHFORD was handed a yellow card by a traffic warden after meeting a Manchester United team-mate for lunch.
After scoring a career-high 32 goals in all competitions the previous season to finish as the team’s top scorer, the 26-year-old forward is finding it difficult to find his best form this year.

During the current campaign, he has only scored three goals for the Red Devils in all competitions, and it seems like his poor luck is continuing off the field.
On Wednesday afternoon, Rashford went to Wilmslow, Cheshire’s Juniper Restaurant to meet Tyrell Malacia, a fellow United player.
The £280,000 McLaren 765 Long Tail sports car that the England player had left parked outside the institution on double yellow lines went unnoticed by him.
However, it only took a warden with keen eyes to notice his foul play after 15 minutes, and he dutifully issued a £60 parking citation on the star’s vehicle, which has a top speed of 205 mph.
And after around an hour, Rashford had a bad surprise when he went back outside to his car.
He is not the first, and most likely not the last, Manchester United football star to have been caught on two yellow cards in a row in recent memory.
In August, Man City manager Pep Guardiola got a parking ticket and had a comical conversation with a traffic warden.
Three months later, the Spaniard was struck with another one, and this time he was not laughing as much.
Additionally, his players have made mistakes when it comes to parking.
Jack Grealish, the attacker for City, and his girlfriend Sasha Attwood’s night out at Sexy Fish in identical clothes was marred by a parking charge.
And his club and England team-mate Kalvin Phillips also spotted a ticket on his £270k Lamborghini following a day out with partner Ashleigh Behan in the city core earlier this year.
