England defender Harry Maguire has been fined £1,000 for speeding, just weeks after expressing he was "shocked and gutted" by his exclusion from Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad. This incident adds to the disappointment for the 33-year-old centre-back, especially as his teammates travel to the USA for preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

The speeding offense occurred on December 28 last year, when Maguire was caught driving his £130,000 Range Rover at 37mph in a 30mph zone in Altringham, Greater Manchester. This stretch was between Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium and his residence in Cheshire.

Maguire was prosecuted and convicted via the single justice procedure last week, alongside two of his Manchester United teammates facing similar charges:

• Altay Bayindir, reserve goalkeeper, caught driving a Mercedes at 41mph in a 30mph limit on November 24.
• Matheus Cunha, who is charged with speeding and failing to respond to police inquiries regarding the driver of his vehicle.

Court documents reveal Cunha's Mercedes was clocked at 37mph on the same stretch where Bayindir was caught. The incidents occurred shortly after United’s opening day Premier League defeat to Arsenal on August 17.

Maguire, who previously received a 56-day road ban in January 2025 for speeding, pleaded guilty in writing and was sentenced at Tameside Magistrates’ Court. He received three penalty points on his license, along with a £120 cost and a £400 victim surcharge. In his apology, he stated he misjudged the speed limit and expressed a desire to complete a speed awareness course instead of receiving penalty points.

Bayindir has been fined £666 with three penalty points, while Cunha awaits a hearing on December 16 at Bolton Magistrates’ Court, where disqualification may be considered.
