In an incident that has stunned both football fans and local residents, Manchester United’s rising star Kobbie Mainoo is reportedly facing legal action after a late-night stunt involving his brand-new Lamborghini Huracán led to a neighborhood-wide disturbance.
According to multiple eyewitness accounts and initial reports from the Cheshire residential district where Mainoo resides, the 19-year-old midfielder allegedly revved the exhaust of his Lamborghini at full blast around 2:00am, waking up the entire gated villa community.
One particularly angry resident was quoted saying:
“It sounded like a jet engine going off in my living room. I thought the world was ending, only to look outside and see Kobbie in his driveway, shirtless, revving his car like he was on a racetrack. At 2 in the bloody morning!”
Neighbors claim the footballer, who recently returned from England international duty to widespread praise, appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and was “testing” the sound modifications of his supercar, which boasts a custom exhaust system that can exceed 120 decibels — louder than a rock concert or a low-flying plane.
Several residents have filed an official noise complaint with the local council, and two households are reportedly taking legal action for what they describe as “recurring noise disturbances, sleep deprivation, and emotional distress.”
A leaked audio recording from the night — already making rounds on social media — features the deafening sound of engine revving, followed by someone yelling:
“Yessss! That’s the V10 baby!”
…a voice believed to be Mainoo’s.
While no formal charges have been filed yet, Manchester United has issued a brief statement acknowledging the incident:
“We are aware of a reported disturbance involving Kobbie Mainoo and are currently gathering information. The club will not comment further at this time.”
Fans have been split on the issue. Some are defending the teenager, saying he’s entitled to enjoy the fruits of his success. Others, however, are questioning the judgment behind the act, especially so late at night and allegedly under the influence.
One X (Twitter) user summed it up perfectly:
“Love Mainoo on the pitch. Don’t love waking up to Fast & Furious: Cheshire Drift at 2am.”
Whether this was just a youthful mistake or the beginning of a PR nightmare for the young English star, one thing is certain — Kobbie Mainoo’s Lamborghini has roared him straight into legal hot water.
