DAVID DE GEA was forced to catch a taxi home from a Manchester United team dinner – after his Aston Martin was CLAMPED.
The goalkeeper, 30, joined his team-mates for a meal at The Ivy restaurant on Tuesday evening ahead of the new season.
But he departed at 10.30pm, after three-and-a-half hours in the city centre establishment, to find his supercar clamped.
A notice had been left on the window of the Aston Martin Vantage, declaring it an 'untaxed vehicle'.
Luke Shaw also returned to his car after the meal to discover he had been given a parking ticket.
The England defender, 26, had the fine left on his silver Range Rover after he parked up near the restaurant, located in the Spinningfields area of Manchester's city centre.
Stars including Paul Pogba, Anthony Martial and new signing Jadon Sancho also attended the do at The Ivy.
United kick off their season at home to Leeds on Saturday lunchtime.
De Gea made an early return from his summer break to stake his claim for a place in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.
Following his call-up to Euro 2020, the Spaniard will once again go up against Dean Henderson for the goalkeeper's jersey this season.
