Manchester United team bus CLAMPED as stars arrive in Dublin for last pre-season match of summer

JOSE MOURINHO finally has a legitimate excuse for parking the bus.

Ahead of Manchester United's pre-season clash in Dublin, the Red Devils' team bus was snapped being CLAMPED.

The Red Devils are in Ireland's capital taking on Italian side Sampdoria in their penultimate match before their Premier League curtain raiser against West Ham.

The bus was parked outside the Marker Hotel but traffic enforcers obviously took exception as an image doing the rounds on Twitter shows a guy sticking a clamp on the back left wheel.

But boss Mourinho will have bigger fish to fry in their final pre-season clash before taking on Real Madrid in the Super Cup.

New £40million signing Nemanja Matic is expected to make his United debut in midfield.

Striker Romelu Lukaku will be hoping to keep up his impressive scoring record in pre-season but it appears he has had a lovers tiff with best pal Paul Pogba.

The world's most expensive midfielder sat next to Matic on the plane in which Lukaku joked on Snapchat: "You see it, Matic came and he left me”.

United have enjoyed an impressive run of results as they warm up before mounting a Premier League title challenge.

They have lost just once in six matches - a 1-0 defeat to Barcelona - but did beat rivals Manchester City.

After their match with Sampdoria – which will be played in front of more than 50,000 fans at the Aviva Stadium face – United play Real Madrid in the Super Cup in Skopje, Macedonia.

The club then host West Ham in their first Premier League match of the new season on Sunday, August 13.

Spanish pair Ander Herrera and Juan Mata both returned from minor injuries to play a half in the win over Valarenga in Oslo at the weekend, and each is expected to play a bigger part tonight.

David De Gea and Antonio Valencia, who both missed the trip to Norway, have travelled to Dublin.
