Man United loanee Brandon Williams inhaled laughing gas before being involved in a high-speed car crash, it was claimed in court on Friday.
The full-back, who is currently on loan at Championship club Ipswich, faced magistrates over the accident which took place last year.
According to the sunProsecutor Katie Johnson said he was involved in a 75mph crash after driving his Audi A3 S Line at high speed along the A34 in Wilmslow, Cheshire.
Mrs Johnson said: ‘He was seen by witnesses removing nitrous oxide from balloons.’
Nitrous oxide was made a controlled Class C drug in November, meaning it is now a criminal offense if someone intends to inhale it mistakenly for a psychoactive effect.

Williams rose through the youth ranks of Manchester United and has made 51 professional appearances on the pitch to date.
He was loaned out to Ipswich for the 2023/24 season, where he made fifteen league appearances and scored twice.
