Manchester United star Harry Maguire caught speeding in £200,000 Range Rover
by John Scheerhout · Manchester Evening NewsManchester United defender Harry Maguire is to appear in court for speeding in his £200,000 Range Rover - after being booked for the second time in just two months.
The 31-year old defender was sent a penalty notice after he was seen driving his 150mph SV near Manchester Airport in excess of the 50mph limit.
Last September Maguire was ordered to pay more than £1,200 after the same 8 speed automatic vehicle, which can go 0-60mph in 5.8 seconds, was clocked doing 68mph in a 60mph zone on the A616 near his home city of Sheffield.

Today (Wednesday) the defender, who lives in Wilmslow, Cheshire, was due at Bolton Magistrates' court after records showed he pleaded guilty to the latest speeding charge last month.
It is not not known what speed was he was travelling at when he was booked on March 5 this year - just two days after he watched his team get beaten 3-1 by Manchester City in the Premier League.
A court sheet read: ''Mr Harry Jacob Maguire. Exceeded 50 mph speed limit in contravention of a Local Traffic Order - manned equipment. On 5.3.2024. at Manchester drove a motor vehicle, namely Land Rover Range Rover SUV D, on a road, namely A538 Wilmslow Road near to Mill Lane, Ringway, , subject of a local traffic order, namely Manchester City Council City of Manchester (Speed Limits) (A538 Wilmslow Road) Order 2018 , at a speed exceeding 50 miles per hour.
''Contrary to the above local traffic order and sections 84 and 89(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 and Schedule 2 to the Road Traffic Offenders Act 1988.''
In September at Sheffield magistrates court, Maguire was reportedly ordered to pay a fine of £670, plus a £268 victim surcharge and £90 in legal fees, taking the total cost to £1,208. He also had three points added to his driver's licence. He pleaded guilty to the charge at the first opportunity, meaning he was not required to attend court.
On that occasion he was caught speeding just two days before missing United's 2-0 Premier League victory over Everton at Old Trafford.
The defender has fallen out of favour both at United - who paid £80m for his services in 2019 - and England.
