Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka has been charged with driving during disqualification earlier this summer.
The 23-year-old was accused of driving his Lamborghini Urus on the A34 in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on June 23, despite being temporarily barred from holding or applying for a license.

As stated in the Daily Mail, Wan-Bissaka is also charged with driving without insurance and for driving in a manner other than in accordance with a driving license.
The case was presented to the Stockport Magistrate’s Court on Thursday but has been postponed until September 1.
The United defender has not invoked and did not participate in the first hearing on Thursday.
Should he be found guilty of driving while disqualified, Wan-Bissaka could be sentenced to up to six months in prison, but could simply receive a Community order instead.
Wan-Bissaka played a full 90 minutes of United’s Premier League opener, the 5-1 knockout of Leeds United, and is expected to retain his place in the squad after the Red Devils turned the hunt for Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Trippier upside down.
United identified Trippier as the perfect man to compete with Wan-Bissaka for a place in the squad but baulked at Atletico’s request, which stood at over £ 20 million.
Instead, United are ready to give young Diogo Dalot a second shot at life at Old Trafford.

The Portuguese international, who spent last season on loan at AC Milan, impressed Ole Gunnar Solskjær during the pre-season and will now probably have the chance to prove himself in the coming season.
Dalot had a place on the bench for the Leeds game, as did 20-year-old Brandon Williams, who is soon expected to complete a season-long loan to Norwich City.
