Manchester United players 'must drive Chevrolets'

Manchester United players are "ordered" to drive cars provided by shirt sponsor Chevrolet, according to a report.

Manchester United players have reportedly been "ordered" to drive Chevrolet cars to and from training, to appease the club's shirt sponsors.

The American manufacturer became United's sponsor in 2014 and had offered free cars to members of the United squad, but it is believed that very few of the team took the company up on the offer, which has allegedly led to the instruction from the Red Devils' hierarchy.

The Daily Star quoted a source as saying: "It was pretty embarrassing when they motor firm had handed over all these free cars and no one wanted to drive them.

"Now the lads have been asked to take them for a spin every now and again so they get pictured behind the wheel of a Chevy.

"They might not be Porsches but they are lovely cars and the average United fan would kill for a free motor. So far stars such as David De Gea, Jonny Evans, Juan Mata and Antonio Valencia have been spotted driving the cars to the training ground."

United have all but secured a Champions League place after Liverpool could only draw 1-1 at Chelsea on Sunday.
