MAN United footy ace Harry Maguire has been slapped with a £1,000 fine for speeding in his flash Land Rover.
The £80m centre-back, 31, was clocked by a traffic camera on the A616 in South Yorkshire doing 68mph in a 60mph zone.

ZenpixMaguire was at the wheel of his black Land Rover motor when he triggered the monitor near his home city of Sheffield just before 2pm on March 7.
Two days later he missed the Red Devils’ Old Trafford clash with Everton for unspecified reasons.
The Three Lions ace admitted the offence by post and pleaded guilty at the first opportunity.
His case was processed on Monday at Sheffield magistrates’ court, where JPs fined him £670 and added three points to his driving license.
It meant Maguire did not have to attend court to hear the verdict in person.
The former United captain, reportedly paid £190,000 a week, was also ordered to cough up a £268 victim surcharge and £90 in court costs, taking the total to £1,028.
Police figures show around 130 motorists a year are caught out by the same speed camera on the Stocksbridge bypass.
The busy artery, which links West Yorkshire to the M1, is set at the national speed limit – 60 for single-carriageway roads.
The court run-in is the latest in a long line of driving woes for Man United stars.
Maguire’s pal Marcus Rashford is currently banned from the road after speeding at 104mph on the M60.
The forward was pulled over by an undercover cop car and claimed he only sped up as he was scared of being followed.
Last year Rashford, 26, infamously collided with a grandmother in his £700,000 Rolls-Royce Cullinan as he left United’s Carrington training ground.
Both drivers luckily escaped without harm.
Fellow England star Jack Grealish, of United’s rivals Man City, was also fined £666 earlier this year for speeding at 44 in a 30mph zone.
Harry Maguire and Man United were approached for comment.
