Manchester United star Romelu Lukaku has become the latest victim of thieves targeting luxury cars at Britain's third largest airport.

The £75m striker, 24, lost a key fob belonging to his £250,000 Rolls Royce Ghost after it was snatched from his Mercedes which had been parked near Terminal 1 at Manchester.

Police found the fob to the black and white 155mph supercar along with two United season tickets belonging to two fans when they arrested a teenager for stealing from other cars.

The raid on Lukaka's Merc occurred just days after 130 car keys and four vehicles were stolen from a ''meet and greet'' parking firm used by Manchester Airport passengers.

The footballer is thought to have parked his vehicle at the airport to fly out to his native Belgium after playing in United's 2-0 victory over Leicester on August 26.

It is not known whether he used the ''meet and greet'' service.

Details emerged at Manchester magistrates court where aspiring PE teacher Kelsey Winder, 18, admitted handing stolen goods.

He also pleaded guilty to theft from a motor vehicle, going equipped for theft with a torch and hat and gloves and having a folding lock knife.
