Manchester United star Antony drove into club training in a £337,000 Lamborghini on Monday – just a week after reportedly crashing his BMW on New Year’s Eve.
The Brazilian forward – who cost United £82million – is said to have crashed his BMW X6 into roadworks on the M56 near his home in Hale, Greater Manchester, while driving in ‘wet’ conditions.
Antony was reportedly ‘shaken up’ – with police called to the scene where the winger ‘passed a breathalyser test’ before his car was recovered, but ‘no one else was involved in the incident’, according to The Sun.

The forward was reportedly left ‘shook up’ by the incident involving his £100,000 vehicle
A source from The Sun said: ‘It was dark and wet and he made an error of judgement.
‘He was shook up but thankfully no one else was involved and he wasn’t injured.’
The 22-year-old seems to have quite an impressive collection of cars as he drove into training in the Lamborghini instead.
He is looking to put the episode behind him after being forced to miss the 3-0 win over Bournemouth last week, before returning for boss Erik ten Hag in the 3-1 win over Everton in the FA Cup third round – where he scored the opening goal.

Speaking after the match, the Brazilian, who has scored four times in 15 appearances in a red shirt, revealed he had to deal with a ‘really difficult moment’ and claimed he ‘had a shock.’
He said: ‘I’m very grateful to God to put that behind me now, grateful to the club, to the players and to the manager. Everyone stayed by my side.
‘It was a really, really difficult moment for me days ago. But God has been always on my side and I’m grateful also to my family. I dedicate this goal to them, it’s in moments like these that you know who really loves you.’
The former Ajax forward, who struck in the fourth minute of that the game against Everton with a sliding tap-in, also spoke of his elation of how happy he was to score for the Red Devils.

‘First of all, it’s a feeling of joy,’ he told TNT Sports after the game. ‘I’m happy to score again, especially at home.
‘I’ve set some goals for me this season and it’s good to score as soon as I’ve started to think of personal goals. But, of course, the most important is United’s qualification to the next stage.
‘This is my mind-frame now. I’m 100 per cent focused on honouring the fans and the club. We all know the size of this club and we want to put United back to where it deserves.’
