He was snapped taking a spin outside a modest house.
And the ex-Red Devil in question? Chris Eagles.
Eagles was caught almost three times over the limit outside of the home of his then-girlfriend Jennifer Metcalfe last year.
The former Red Devils winger, who represented the club from 2003 to 2008, was found drunk and 'partially in a state of undress' in his £70,000 Audi at 3am.

He was banned from driving for three months, fined £1,250 and ordered to pay £275 in costs.
Eagles' 2021 driving ban isn't the first time he has found himself in trouble for getting behind the wheel of a car.
When he was 15, he was called into Sir Alex Ferguson's office for driving.
Speaking to Ladbrokes, he recalled the meeting with the legendary boss, saying: "I drove a car somewhere when I was 15 and Sir Alex found out about it and called me in his office. I was petrified.
"It’s the worst experience ever because you don’t know what he’s going to do. I can remember standing outside of his office, sweating, going red.
"He used to have a folder where he used to keep his notes. It was a hard-back.
"Every time he walked past me he used to just slap me on the head with it – all in good humour obviously.
"He was just a great manager, a great guy, and that’s how he got his respect."
The dad-of-two, who won the Premier League AND Champions League, retired from professional football in January 2020.
He also made 74 Prem appearances, scoring seven goals.
Eagles played most of his games in the Championship though, featuring 223 times for Bolton among others.
His last club was Oldham Athletic, making 18 appearances for the League Two club.
