A man bought a piece of Marcus Rashford’s smashed-up Mansory Rolls-Royce Black Badge Wraith and is hoped to sell it on for a lot more.
A Manchester United fan scooped up a stray wing mirror casing from the passenger side—complete with black scuffs and scratches—from the scene.
And when memorabilia dealer Thomas Dawson heard about the item he was happy to part with $80 (£60) to get his hands on it.
He believed he’d be able to sell the unusual bit of automotive memorabilia for a much larger amount.

The Rolls-Royce wing mirror was found after Rashford’s crash
In case you’ve missed it, earlier this year, the England forward had a crash in his high-end Mansory Rolls-Royce.
Thankfully, no one was injured in the crash but the luxury car was left in a bit of a state.
The car was then purchased by YouTuber Mat Armstrong who decided to fix it up himself – parting with a good chunk of money to do so.
However, it turned out Mansory wasn’t so pleased with Armstrong’s handiwork and reached out to him to ask him to bring the car in for them to fix.
It turns out that while all this had been unfolding, football fan Dawson had hatched a plan to try and make a bit of cash by selling a piece of the car.
The man who bought it thinks it could be worth a lot
After spending $80 on the wing mirror, he made a listing on eBay setting the price at $1,335 (£999).
“It’s worth more than £60 as a part, let alone the fact its right off Rashford’s car,” Dawson told the Sun.
“They are £200 ($267) to buy one.
“There are loads of views on it at the moment. It is unusual, some weirdo might like it.”
However, it seems that – as yet – no one has decided to snap up the item as it’s still listed for sale online with more than 120 people ‘watching’ it.
And it looks like the price has increased from $6,685 to £5,000.
In the listing, Dawson notes that it was ‘obtained in Manchester from the rubble’ and that it’s a ‘one-of-one’ item.
