This former Manchester United star is facing legal persecution after being caught riding an electric scooter without a license! 😳 The star posted a picture online, and now authorities are digging deeper to find out if he had the proper license… and if alcohol was involved! 😱
Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is under scrutiny in South Korea following an incident involving an electric scooter. Lingard, who currently plays for FC Seoul, posted a photo of himself riding the scooter without proper protective gear or a valid license. The image was subsequently removed, but it sparked concern among fans and authorities.
The Gangnam Police Department is investigating whether Lingard holds a valid international driving permit for operating the scooter and if he had consumed alcohol before riding. South Korea’s strict traffic laws could lead to penalties if he is found to have breached regulations.
This situation adds to Lingard’s driving-related troubles. A year ago, he faced an 18-month driving ban in the UK for drunk driving, having exceeded the legal alcohol limit.
Lingard’s move to South Korea was intended to revitalize his football career after struggling with injuries and inconsistent performances. Recently, he has shown signs of improvement, scoring four goals in 18 appearances and earning the captaincy of FC Seoul. Despite this progress, the current legal issue could overshadow his achievements.
Lingard has expressed contentment with his life in South Korea and his football career, describing himself as being in a “happy place.” His move to FC Seoul followed a stint at Nottingham Forest after leaving Manchester United, and he is hopeful for a successful restart to his career.
The outcome of the police investigation will be crucial, as South Korea enforces rigorous traffic laws, especially for electric scooters. Lingard could face fines or other penalties if found in violation. The situation may also impact his standing with FC Seoul and draw significant media attention.
As Lingard continues to focus on his football, both his fans and FC Seoul supporters hope that this legal challenge will not derail his recent positive trajectory on the field.
