As Manchester United's players turned up to pre-season training this morning, it was their modes of transport that caught the eye.
Arriving in flashy cars are all part and parcel of a footballer's morning ride into work.
But as United's stars arrived at Carrington today, it's fair to say they're a varied bunch.
French midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin was driven into training by his fiancée Camille Sold in a cream-coloured Mini.
The couple are not long back from a holiday to the Maldives. Schneiderlin met Ms Sold while she was working as a £10-an-hour shop girl at an Adidas store in Manchester city centre.
New £26m-pound man Henrikh Mkhitaryan also had a similarly relaxing drive in, as he arrived in a taxi, sitting in the back seat.
Memphis Depay stole show with his wheels, entering the training complex in his £250,000 black Rolls Royce.
Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick both arrived in Audis, Rooney in a Q7 and Carrick in a R S7 Quattro.
