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”.
