Arsenal team bus slapped with £60 parking fine ahead of Arsene Wenger’s last-ever Manchester United clash
THE Arsenal team bus was slapped with a £60 parking fine on Sunday morning... just hours before Arsene Wenger's last-ever Manchester United clash.
The Gunners' coach was left in an unauthorised zone outside the team's Principal Hotel in Manchester ahead of this afternoon's game.
The bus was snapped with a clearly-visible yellow ticket on its window just hours before kick-off at Old Trafford.
It's certainly not the dream start to the day Wenger would have been planning on his farewell tour.
For the game on Sunday - the French boss is set to start the kids to take on famous, old rival Jose Mourinho.
After Thursday's disappointing 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Europa League semi-final first-leg, Wenger wants to rest his first-team stars for the all-important Spain leg.
With a top-four spot in the Premier League not on the cards for a second season in a row, the second tier of Europe is Arsenal's only hope of breaking back into the Champions League.
With that in mind, Wenger is set to hand starts to the likes of Konstantinos Mavropanos, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Reiss Nelson.
ARE LU KIDDING? Arsenal put off by Luis Enrique’s £200m transfer budget demands following secret London talks
Mesut Ozil, Alexandre Lacazette and Laurent Koscielny are just three big names stars set to miss out on Sunday's clash.
Whatever happens, Wenger will be desperate to avoid another disaster at Old Trafford, having been mauled 8-2 at the same stadium in 2011.
