Manchester United goalkeeper, Sergio Romero, was involved in an horrific car accident near the club’s Carrington training base on Monday.
However, Romero escaped unharmed after crashing his £170,000 Lamborghini in the incident.
The United’s number two shotstopper was seen standing beside his damaged car on the A6144.
The crash happened on the Carrington Spur Road through Ashton, near to the Reds’ training ground.
Footage also emerged across social media of Romero’s car in ruins on the side of the road, but with the United man standing safely beside the wreckage.
The Lamborghini can be seen underneath a roadside barrier, with footage taken from passers by also showing debris strewn across the road.
According to Sky Sports, Romero still took part in United’s training on Monday.
It had been a cold and icy across Manchester, with temperatures above freezing, and drivers have been warned to be particularly careful on the roads.
The Argentina international is believed to have bought the car in 2017, shortly after United defeated Southampton to win the League Cup at Wembley.
The 32-year-old has been a United player since 2015, and has played nine times for the club in all competitions so far this season.
In total, he has played 53 times for United and kept an impressive tally of 34 clean sheets.
Romero’s current contract at Old Trafford runs until 2021, and has an option to be extended for another year.
He is believed to earn around £70,000-a-week on that deal, and he is considered to be one of the best back-up goalkeepers in England.
