The footballer was believed to be in a car that crashed as the Red Devils were coming back from their victory against Burnley on Saturday (September 23rd).

Footage and pictures that emerged online in the wake of the accident showed considerable damage to the back of the striker's Rolls Royce.

No arrests were made as a result of the crash, and police have closed their investigations.

Marcus later posted to his social media posts that he was "alright" in the aftermath of the crash and thanked his fans for the messages of support.

25-year-old Marcus was a key player in Manchester United's victory at Burnley's home ground. The team came out on top, with the score being 1-0 at full time.
