Manchester United stars Ander Herrera, Juan Mata and Marcos Rojo all picked up parking tickets whilst out at a birthday bash.

Herrera was celebrating his 28th birthday at the Tapeo and Wine restaurant in the Deansgate area of Manchester.

David De Gea was the only United player to escape without a £60 fine due to his late arrival.

Given the United stars' six-figure weekly wages, the tickets merely served as an expensive pay and display ticket.

The players' expensive motors on display included Herrera's white Mercedes 4x4, with Mata owning the burgundy version and De Gea a grey model, with Rojo's black Cadillac Escalade.

The Spanish-speaking contingent enjoyed tapas to celebrate the Red Devils' 4-0 win over West Ham the day before to start the season top of the Premier League.

A soft start to the season has presented a wonderful chance for Jose Mourinho's side to establish themselves as front-runners in the title race.

A trip to Swansea at lunchtime on Saturday is next up, providing the chance to secure a cushion over their title rivals.

With Manchester City not playing until Monday night, with big spenders Everton travelling to the Etihad in an early test for Pep Guardiola's side.
