Unfortunately, the incredibly satisfying photo of the bus of one of the richest clubs in world football being clamped in Dublin was just a joke by a clamper taking the piss.
The image quickly went viral, but has since been debunked as something that didn't actually happen.

As clear as it seemed, it turns out the man in question was a clamper who wanted a photo op, as someone who was present as the Man Utd team arrived at The Marker Hotel replied to a tweet by 2FM claiming that he asked the coach driver who cleared up the situation.
Was talking with the coach driver the clamper wanted a photo that's all panic over

Our apologies to anybody who took great satisfaction in seeing Man Utd fined for a parking violation, but fair play to that clamper who likely would have been shocked to his snap make news stories around the world.
