Manchester United and England forward Marcus Rashford walked away unhurt from a crash while driving home, Sky News understands.
Rashford arrived back in Manchester following United’s 1-0 win away at Burnley on Saturday night and was on his way home after arriving at Carrington, the club’s training base.
No ambulance was required after Rashford was involved in a collision with another vehicle.
According to The Sun newspaper, Rashford had just left Carrington in his £700,000 Rolls Royce when the collision happened.
Pictures and footage posted online in the aftermath of the incident showed the damage suffered by his Rolls Royce.
Rashford posted on Instagram on Sunday to say he is “alright” and “thanks for the messages”, while celebrating the win over Burnley.

“3 points on the road! I’m alright guys thanks for the messages,” he wrote.
England cricket legend Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff has made a rare public appearance nine months after he suffered serious facial injuries in a car crash.
Flintoff was at Cardiff’s Sophia Gardens in Wales on Friday to watch England’s opening one-day international against New Zealand from the balcony.
The former England captain, 45, was filming for the BBC show Top Gear when he crashed at the Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.
Flintoff, who was one of the presenters of the show, has kept a low profile since the accident.
However, the former all-rounder, who played in 79 Tests and 141 one-day matches for England, was pictured in an England coaching kit at Sophia Gardens on Friday.
The injuries from the Top Gear crash, which brought the filming of series 34 to a halt, appeared evident on his face.
Flintoff is a close friend of England managing director Rob Key and is set to be with the squad for the remainder of the series.
He is not due to be with the group for the upcoming World Cup in India.

A statement from BBC Studios earlier this year said it had “concluded its investigation into the accident at the Top Gear Test Track in Surrey last December, which regrettably injured presenter Freddie Flintoff”.
It continued: “We have sincerely apologised to Freddie and will continue to support him with his recovery. Under the circumstances, we feel it would be inappropriate to resume making series 34 of Top Gear at this time.
“We understand this will be disappointing for fans, but it is the right thing to do, and we’ll make a judgement about how best to continue later this year. This has also impacted the production team, who we continue to support.”
Flintoff ended his international career in 2009 after helping England to an Ashes series victory over Australia before he retired from all forms of the game in 2015.
He went on to launch a career in broadcasting, which also included featuring on Sky’s “A League Of Their Own”.
The driver of a police van which was seen on CCTV following two boys on an e-bike shortly before they died in a fatal collision is facing a criminal investigation.
The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) said the driver of the vehicle was now being “criminally investigated for dangerous driving”.
The driver, along, with the passenger in the van, had previously been served with a gross misconduct notice.
Kyrees Sullivan, 16, and Harvey Evans, 15, died in the crash in the Ely area of Cardiff on 22 May.
The crash sparked riotous scenes in the community as properties were damaged and cars torched.
The IOPC said the notices and the criminal letter did not necessarily mean that disciplinary or criminal proceedings would follow.
The crash happened at 6.02pm on Snowden Road and CCTV footage showed the bike being followed by a police van at 6pm on nearby Frank Road.
Other footage showed the van turn off and it was not following the boys at the time of the collision.

The watchdog’s investigation is looking at the nature of the police’s interaction with the boys before the collision.
One key factor under consideration is whether there was any point at which the decision and actions of the officers in the van “constituted a pursuit”.
The IOPC has confirmed it has completed all its enquiries in the Ely area in recent weeks and has also reviewed footage from body-worn cameras.
South Wales Police is continuing to co-operate with the IOPC investigation.

‘Went everywhere together’
Following Harvey’s death, his family said their hearts were “truly broken”.
They described him as having lived “life to the full” and someone who had a “big heart”, adding that “deep down, he truly cared”.
His family also appealed for “peace within the community” and asked people to allow the police to investigate and “get the answers we so desperately need”.
Kyrees was a “handsome young man” and a “loving son and brother”, his family said.
They added that he and Harvey “went everywhere together” and were loved “not only by their families but by their community as well”.
IOPC Director David Ford said his thoughts and sympathies were with the family and friends of Kyrees and Harvey and everyone impacted by their deaths.
“Our independent investigation is progressing well and I want to again thank the local community for the support provided to our investigation, including through the sharing of CCTV evidence,” he said.

He said the IOPC said it remained “committed to establishing the facts” and would “continue to provide regular updates”.
Anyone with information which could be of use to its investigation is asked to contact the IOPC.

Sharing a photograph of the late couple, Allsopp wrote on Instagram: “This lovely photograph, recently taken at their home in Kent, is of Anne and David Spencer, I am desperately sad to have to say that they were both killed yesterday in a car accident near their home.
“They were farmers, animal lovers and devoted parents to Robert, Caryn, Helen and Philip and adored their eight grandchildren, the only blessing is that they died together, so will never have to mourn the loss of each other.
“I suspect many of you may want to join me in sending so much love to Phil and all his family.
“Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers, thank you.”

Kent Police said they were called at 12.36pm to a report of a single-vehicle collision.
A spokeswoman said: “Officers attended along with other emergency services and a man and woman in their 80s were taken to a local hospital where they were later pronounced deceased.
“A third person, a woman in her 60s, was in the vehicle and sustained minor injuries.
“The next of kin has been informed and a report will now be prepared for the coroner.”
Spencer and Allsopp are most well known for presenting Location, Location, Location together for more than 20 years.
The pair, who have worked together since the year 2000 and who are both married with children, have appeared in 39 series of the hit Channel 4 property programme, as well as spin-off shows including Relocation, Relocation.
A baby was inside the tent that was struck by a car after it veered off the road and crashed into a campsite – leaving two people in a serious condition and seven others injured.
Clare Harris, who runs the Newgale campsite in Pembrokeshire, has said the baby is “okay” after the ordeal.
It is not clear if the child is one of those who required hospital treatment.
Two people are in a serious condition in hospital after a blue Ford Fiesta collided with a number of people and the tent shortly after 10.30pm on Saturday.
One person was airlifted to the University Hospital of Wales, the Welsh Ambulance Service said.
Four were taken by ambulance to Glangwilli Hospital, while one was taken to Morriston Hospital.
Ms Harris, who runs the campsite with her husband Mike, said: “The car was speeding down the hill, realised it needed to slow down and tried to brake.
“It flipped and rolled several times, and crashed into the tent.
“There was a young child, a baby, in the tent at the time, thankfully they are okay.
“It’s a tragic accident that the police are dealing with, that’s all we can say at the moment.”
The car is believed to have been travelling from the village of Roch towards St Davids when it crashed off the A487.
Dyfed Powys Police said passengers in the car were among those injured.
Police said in a statement: “The road was closed to allow investigations and reopened at around 7.45am today.
“Officers are appealing for any information regarding the vehicle, a blue Ford Fiesta, and its occupants.
“We are especially interested in any dashcam footage or doorbell footage which may have captured the vehicle being driven from Roch to the scene of the collision at Newgale.”
HM Coastguard in Broad Haven said: “The team were paged at 11.23pm last night to assist with multi-agency incident in Newgale.
“We organised a helicopter site and supported paramedics with casualty care.”
A Welsh Ambulance Service spokesperson said: “We were called yesterday at around 22:40 to reports of an incident at Newgale Campsite, Pembrokeshire.
“We sent six emergency ambulances, one duty operations manager, one Cymru high acuity response unit and our crews were supported on scene by the emergency medical and retrieval transfer service and search and rescue helicopter.
“One patient was flown to University Hospital of Wales, four patients were taken by road to Glangwilli Hospital, and one patient was taken by road to Morriston Hospital.”
Police have made a renewed appeal for information relating to the disappearance of a man after a crash more than a decade ago.
Kyle Vaughan would have celebrated his 35th birthday on Thursday.
He disappeared on Sunday, 30 December 2012 at the age of 24. He did not return after leaving his home for the evening.
A silver Peugeot 306, which he was driving, was involved in a single-vehicle collision on the same day as he disappeared.
The collision took place on the A467 between Crosskeys and Risca.
Gwent Police initially launched a missing person inquiry but it later became a murder investigation.
Eight people in total were arrested on suspicion of offences in connection with Mr Vaughan’s disappearance.
They were all later released without charge.
‘Desperate for answers’
Detective Chief Superintendent Nicky Brain said the force’s investigation “remains very much active” and they continue to be in “regular contact with his family”.
“Officers from our major incident team continue to investigate any information that we receive from members of the public,” DCS Brain said.
“As part of this extensive investigation, we have to date conducted searches in 40 areas, interviewed in excess of 200 people, received more than 180 intelligence logs and taken nearly 900 witness statements.
“Unfortunately though, we still don’t have the answers we need and Kyle’s family, who’ve never given up hope of finding out what happened to him, so desperately want.”

Crimestoppers Wales are offering an increased reward for information which could assist the investigation.
Hayley Fry, Crimestoppers Wales national manager, said Mr Vaughan’s family are “desperate for answers”.
“We are hoping our renewed appeal and increased reward will remind the public about this case and the important role they can play in seeking justice for Kyle’s family and friends,” she added.
“We believe that somebody knows what happened to Kyle.”
Gwent Police have opened an online portal on Thursday which will remain open for three months.
Members of the public are urged to submit information relating to the investigation into Mr Vaugahan’s disappearance either through the online portal or by getting in touch with Crimestoppers.
Parents paying their respects at the scene of the Wimbledon crash have said “everyone is affected” by the tragedy.
The local community has been left reeling after eight-year-old Selena Lau was killed by a Land Rover that crashed into an end-of-term tea party at The Study Preparatory School on Camp Road in Wimbledon on Thursday.

A second eight-year-old was in a “life-threatening” condition in hospital on Friday night, while a woman in her 40s remains in a critical condition.
A total of 16 people were treated at the scene and 12 – including a seven-month-old girl – were taken to hospital and their conditions have been assessed as not life-threatening, the Metropolitan Police said.
The injured adults were parents or carers and not staff at the school, they added.
The car crashed through the fence and into a building at the school in southwest London on Thursday morning.
The driver, a 46-year-old woman from Wimbledon, was arrested at the scene on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving and has been bailed pending further inquiries to a date later this month.
She was taken to hospital and her condition was assessed as not life-threatening.

‘Everyone’s affected by it’
One parent who brought their young child to the scene on Saturday said: “Everyone’s affected by it, everyone is questioning how it could’ve happened.
“I’m just feeling really sorry for the families of those affected and the kids who survived.
“It’s a quiet road, I’m wondering how can a car build up such speed in a short space of time, it’s crazy.”

Amelia, 19, a Wimbledon local, used to attend the school in 2015. She and her brother laid flowers on Saturday afternoon to pay their respects.
She said: “I think The Study is a tightly-knit community, it’s quite a small school so even after people left, we are all together. We came to pay our respects became it’s not just a school, it’s a community as well.
“I think it’s quite sad because the school is far out of the way, it’s not on a main road, it’s not in the centre of Wimbledon, so it’s shocking that this happened.
“The only reason you’re coming down these roads is to go to the school or the golf clubs.”
Cards and flowers with moving tributes to the young girl were laid at the scene throughout Friday and Saturday.
Serena’s family said she was an “intelligent” and “cheeky” girl, “adored and loved by everyone”.
The parents of a girl seen limping after a Land Rover crashed into a school in Wimbledon looked “absolutely shell-shocked”.
Seven children and two adults were injured in the crash – with one child seen by the Sky News team on the scene being carried away with a cut to her leg.
Wimbledon school crash – latest
Sky News’ Jacquie Beltrao said a police officer told her “an out of control vehicle” was involved in what police have described as a “serious collision” at The Study Preparatory School on Camp Road, in Wimbledon.
“We have certainly seen one child walk out of here limping, carried by both of her parents supporting her,” she said.
“They looked absolutely shell-shocked, and couldn’t speak. I just said: ‘Are you okay?’ And her dad nodded his head.
“The child couldn’t speak at all.
“They couldn’t tell us what had happened.
“He shook his head again – looked absolutely shocked.”

Beltrao said the small private girls’ school is set in a “beautiful location” overlooking the Wimbledon Common and a golf course.
“It is not what you expect to happen round here,” she said.
“It’s nowhere near a main road, it’s right in the middle of Wimbledon Common, just a mile or so away from the tennis.”
She described a “massive” response with at least 20 ambulances, an air ambulance and firefighters at the scene.
