‘Manchester United reserve Mads Timm has been sentenced to 12 months in a young offenders' institute for dangerous driving. Timm, along with 19-year-old Callum Flanagan, stood accused of racing each other on a 40mph road in Partington, Manchester.

‘Flanagan, a former Manchester United reserve, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving and was handed an eight-month sentence for driving the car involved in the crash. Timm had been in the car in front, but pleaded not-guilty - and was hit with a heavier sentence.

‘They were both also disqualified from driving for three years.’
