The case was dealt with through the single justice procedure, meaning Maguire did not have to attend court. He must also pay £120 in costs and a £400 victim surcharge.
The England defender reportedly told the court he believed he was driving in a 40mph zone. He pleaded guilty in writing and asked whether he could complete a speed awareness course instead of receiving points.
The penalty comes against the background of a previous 56-day driving ban imposed in January 2025 for speeding offences. Maguire has also recently been left out of Thomas Tuchel’s England squad for the 2026 World Cup, making this another unwanted headline during a difficult period.
The same update details separate proceedings involving Altay Bayindir and Matheus Cunha.
Bayindir’s offence occurred after United’s 1-0 Premier League defeat by Everton, while Cunha’s alleged offence came within hours of the club’s 1-0 loss to Arsenal. Those timings do not connect the cases, but they add to the attention around the squad’s off-field conduct.
None of the cases changes Manchester United’s immediate footballing plans, but Maguire’s repeat driving history and the involvement of two teammates create an awkward public-relations issue. The financial penalties are separate, yet the combined story places greater focus on responsibility beyond the pitch.
The next development will be Cunha’s December hearing, while United will also face questions over whether any internal response follows.
