Manchester United goalkeeper André Onana`s £350,000 Lamborghini Urus has been impounded by police because it had no insurance.
The 29-year-old player needs to quickly sort out the insurance, or the luxury vehicle could face destruction.
Authorities stopped the vehicle on Wednesday morning in Hale Barns, Greater Manchester, while one of Onana`s friends was driving.
The car was identified as uninsured by an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) camera, then loaded onto a transporter and taken to a police compound.
Onana, the Cameroon international, has a two-week period to demonstrate proof of ownership and valid insurance. If he fails to do so, the vehicle could be auctioned off or destroyed.
A source commented, “Onana has had some errors this season, and not properly insuring his car looks like the latest.”
Onana joined Manchester United from Inter Milan in 2023 for £50 million. He has played nearly 100 matches for the club and won the FA Cup during his debut season.
However, his performance has attracted scrutiny due to several costly errors.
In March, his wife Melanie, aged 35, was robbed of a £62,000 Hermes handbag and a Rolex watch after leaving a restaurant in Cheshire. A trial for the robbery suspect is scheduled for later this year.
Onana is not the first Manchester United player whose car has been seized.
In 2021, former United midfielder Paul Pogba had his £300,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith impounded because it was registered in Monaco.
Pogba received three penalty points, a £220 fine, and was ordered to pay £85 in costs at Tameside Magistrates’ Court.
He also incurred thousands of pounds in storage fees after leaving the car at the pound for several months.
A vehicle can be impounded by police if there are reasons to believe the driver is uninsured or is not complying with the terms of their driving licence.
