Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford was involved in a car accident on Saturday, September 24. 

The incident occurred around late evening following their 1-0 win against Burnley, as Rashford was departing from the club's Carrington training ground in his white Rolls Royce worth over $850,000. 

A club representative confirmed that the 25-year-old was not injured and what happened was an accidental collision.

"It was an incident involving his car and one driven by a member of the public. Thankfully both were uninjured and no ambulance was required," the spokesperson added.

Witnesses reported that Rashford emerged from the car without assistance after the collision. The striker's initial concern was for the well-being of the 74-year-old female motorist in the other vehicle, ensuring that she was not injured. 

The woman was on her way home from baby­sitting her granddaughter. She was not a football fan and did not recognize the Manchester United star.

Rashford's teammate rushed to help 

Manchester United captain Bruno Fernandes, who scored the only goal in their win earlier, stopped by because he saw his teammate on the scene. Understandably, he was also concerned about the woman.

The Portuguese midfielder ensured that both parties involved in the incident were in good condition and could depart from the scene without any issues.

Manchester United's club doctor examined Rashford and assisted the grandmother.

Meanwhile, club representatives arranged and covered the cost of a taxi to transport her safely 15 miles to her residence.
