Man Utd star Luke Shaw picks up £60 fine on £250k Rolls-Royce as left-back spot comes under threat from Brandon Williams

LUKE SHAW should know footballers can't get away with two yellows.
But the left-back picked up a £60 fine for parking his £250,000 Rolls-Royce on a pair of them - just as Brandon Williams is looking just the ticket for Shaw's Manchester United spot.

England ace Shaw, 24, is only a week or two away from full fitness following the hamstring injury that has limited him to just three games this season.
And maybe it was that thought that distracted Shaw as he left his luxury Cullinan car on double yellow lines outside Manchester Ivy restaurant while he dined for two hours with two friends.
Sheepish Shaw was spotted getting into the driver's seat afterwards, while a pal walked round the other side of the Roller to remove the ticket.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Williams has also been serving notice to Shaw - that his specialist role in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team is under rising threat.
'THE NEW DENIS IRWIN'
And if Shaw is not in top gear after next week, he could suffer a Rolls reversal off the field - watching on as Williams motors down the flanks.
Old Trafford fans have warmed to England Under-20 star in the Europa League.
And Manchester-born Williams is also pushing Three Lions' World Cup wing-back Ashley Young for the left-sided defensive role in the Premier League.
Both Williams and Young are right-footers - with the former already drawing comparisons because of that with legendary United left-back Denis Irwin.
But in Saturday's 1-0 Prem loss at Bournemouth Williams also showed his versatility, as a late substitute for right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka.
It all means Shaw could face a fight to regain his place, having also struggled to impress Solskjaer's predecessor Jose Mourinho.
And he will have no chance of breaking back in if his positional sense with United is as bad as it is with his car.
