"Red-faced" Man United defender Fosu-Mensah SACKED from training at private school's pitch

Published on: 12 May 2020

Manchester United defender Timothy Fosu-Mensah was given a slap on the wrist for training on a private school's pitch amid the coronavirus scare.

The Sun has reported the 22-year-old Ghanaian-born Dutch defender  alongside United teammate Aaron Wan-Bissaka were shown red cards by staff of the Saint Ambrose College in Cheshire for trying to train on the school's pitch without permission.

The two players thought they would make  the most of the Government's lockdown easing by training outdoors together.

However, the new guideline on being allowed outside with one person who is not from your household does not come into force until WEDNESDAY.

But the red-faced right-back and defender Fosu-Mensah were in trouble today and told to HOP IT by college staff because they did not have permission to be there.

The duo were snapped using a football and doing keepy-uppies in between shuttle runs.

And they certainly practiced social distancing rules by maintaining the required two-metre gap at all times.

Premier League players are expected to return to training this month while adhering to new health and safety guidelines.
