FOOTIE star Romelu Lukaku had the keys to his £250,000 Rolls Royce stolen from his Mercedes at an airport car park.

Details emerged at Manchester magistrates’ court where Kelsey Winder, 18, admitted handling stolen goods.

He also pleaded guilty to theft from another motor vehicle, going equipped for theft and having a folding lock-knife.

Prosecutor Steve Woodman said police who searched Winder also found two United season tickets and a key fob belonging to a Rolls Royce owned by Lukaku.

Winder gave no comment to police. It is not known who broke into the footballer’s car.

The student, of Wythenshawe, got a 12-month community order plus 150 hours of unpaid work and he will have a curfew between 8pm and 6am.
