MANCHESTER United goalkeeper André Onana had his £350,000 Lamborghini Urus impounded for having no insurance.
The 29-year-old, who has made a string of gaffes this season, must now act quickly to get cover or the luxury motor could be crushed.

Police pulled over the vehicle at on Wednesday morning while one of his pals was at the wheel in Hale Barns, Gtr Manchester.
The car was flagged as uninsured on an ANPR camera before being loaded onto a transporter and taken to a police pound.
Cameroon international Onana has 14 days to prove he owns the Lambo and has insurance, otherwise it can be auctioned or destroyed.
A source said: “Onana has made a few errors this season and insuring his car properly seems to be the latest one.”
Onana signed for United from Inter Milan for £50million in 2023 and has made almost 100 appearances for the club, winning the FA Cup in his first season.
But he has come under the spotlight for a series of howlers.
His wife Melanie, 35, was robbed of a £62,000 Hermes handbag and a Rolex watch in March as she left an upmarket Italian restaurant in Cheshire. A man will stand trial later this year for robbery.
Onana is not the first United star to have a car impounded.
In 2021, we told how then-midfielder Paul Pogba had his £300,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith seized as it had Monaco-registered plates.
The Frenchman was handed three points with a £220 fine and ordered to pay £85 costs at Tameside magistrates’ court.
He then racked up thousands more in storage fees for leaving the vehicle in the pound for months.
A car can be seized if an officer has grounds to believe the driver is uninsured or is not driving in accordance with their licence.

RYAN’S CARPOOL
By Alex West
WREXHAM co-owner Ryan Reynolds has revealed a player once asked him to book a rental car.
The Deadpool actor, 48, left, says he contacts new signings personally, leaves his info and urges them to call him if they need help.
An unnamed Red Dragons ace with motor problems took the offer a bit too far.
Reynolds said: “One player did call to ask me to rent him a car.
“I said, ‘When I said call me for anything, I meant a kidney’. I didn’t mean, ‘How do I get you a Hertz rental?’. Let’s try Google next time.”
