London, January 9 : Manchester United football star Cristiano Ronaldo, who has destroyed his 193,000-pound Ferrari only two days after getting it, now faces a police probe into how fast he was driving at the time of accident.

The investigators will try to determine how fast the 205mph car was going when it careered across a dual carriageway before hitting a barrier inside a tunnel under Manchester Airport, say reports.

Ronaldo was seen looking "shaken, dazed and very confused" leaning on the red Ferrari 599 GTB, which only arrived in Britain from Portugal on Tuesday.

Debris, including a front wheel, was scattered for 200 yards.

"It was carnage - bits of the car were everywhere. Ronaldo himself looked in complete shock," the Daily Star quoted recruitment worker Jan Lear as saying.

Ronaldo gave a negative breath test, and then got a lift from his team-mate, goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. (ANI)
