Whiskers Don't Ruin Pogba's £300,000 Rolls Royce

As severe winds continue to hit Greater Manchester this week, Paul Pogba's £300,000 Rolls Royce was nearly crushed by a fallen tree on Wednesday night. 

Maria Zulay Salaues, the Manchester United midfielder's wife, shared a photo of the couple's car on Thursday morning, resting in the driveway of their £2.9 million Cheshire property — inches from from a fallen tree. 

'This happened last night,' the Bolivian model, 27, captioned the Instagram story post, which revealed Pogba's Wraith Black Badge motor was just yards from from being damaged by the storm.

This week has seen strong winds sweep across Greater Manchester, with a tiny tornado causing havoc in the area earlier this week.

Residents in Cheshire have been posting photographs and videos of fallen trees, shattered fences, and debris in the street for the past week, with gusts reaching 40 to 50 miles per hour, according to a Met Office forecaster. 

Pogba, who makes £290,000 per week at Manchester United, was a key player in the Red Devils' 3-2 Champions League victory over Atalanta on Wednesday night.

After leaving his £300,000 Rolls Royce in a police car pound for nine months between June 2020 and March 2021, the Manchester United player has a poor track record in keeping his car secure. 

In June, police stopped the 28-year-old near Manchester Airport because his car only had Monaco license plates. The expensive car was towed away, leaving Pogba with a £150 bill.

At Tameside magistrates court in December, the footballer was also given three points on his driving licence, a £220 fine, and £85 in costs. 

Despite the £200-a-day storage fees for leaving his car in the police zone, the French international player did not pick up his car from the car pound until March of this year. 

Pogba was charged nearly £5,000 for leaving it in the police pound for around 270 days.
