YouTube star buys Marcus Rashford's crashed £700k Rolls Royce for cut price
After Manchester United's win against Burnley last September, Rashford had a car accident when leaving the training ground. He and the other driver were okay and didn't need any medical help. Bruno Fernandes, his teammate, was nearby and checked on him.
After the incident, Rashford sold the car online. It had less than 1,000 miles on it.
Mat Armstrong, who talks about cars on YouTube, bought the car for £184,000. He made a video about it and said the damage "was way worse than I first thought", reports the Mirror.

He showed the car in his video. The front of the car was almost gone - the grill was ripped off, the left side was badly damaged and underneath, Mat said: "The suspension's a mess". The bottom of the car was also badly damaged.
Mat, who has over 2.5 million people watching his videos, worked hard for many days to try and get the car to start.
He even bought another Rolls Royce for £90,000 to get the parts he needed to fix Rashford's old car. Now that it's working, he plans to give away a signed wing.
He hopes that the United star will also sign it. Tickets are only £1 each, and all the money will go to FareShare, a food bank charity that Rashford supports.
