Man Utd star Antony 'wrecks £100,000 BMW' in terrifying crash on M56 roadworks

Manchester United forward Antony was reportedly involved in a terrifying incident on New Year’s Eve when he crashed his BMW sports car on a motorway near his home.

The Brazilian football star, whose full name is Antony Matheus dos Santos, had been part of the team that defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the day in the English Premier League match at Molineux Stadium.

After the match, the 22-year-old destroyed his X6 vehicle in roadworks on the M56 near his home in Hale, according to reports. The footballer, who signed a five-year contract for a transfer from Ajax to Manchester United in August, did not sustain any injuries in the accident but was left badly shaken, while no other individuals were involved, reports The Mirror.
