The goalkeeper André Onana van Manchester United had seized his £ 350,000 Lamborghini Urus because he had no insurance.
The 29-year-old, who made a series of cans this season, now has to act quickly to get coverage to see whether the luxury engine can be crushed.
The police stopped the vehicle on Wednesday morning while one of his friends was behind the wheel in Hale Barns, GTR Manchester.
The car was marked as uninsured on an ANPR camera before it was loaded on a transporter and was taken to a police pound.
Cameroon International Onana has 14 days to prove that he owns the Lambo and has insurance, otherwise it can be auctioned or destroyed.
A source said: “Onana has made a few mistakes this season and insuring his car seems to be the newest.”
Onana signed for United from Inter Milan for £ 50 million in 2023 and made almost 100 performances for the club and won the FA Cup in its first season.
But he has come into the spotlight for a series of cryers.
His wife Melanie, 35, was robbed of a £ 62,000 Hermes -hand bag and a Rolex watch in March when she left a chic Italian restaurant in Cheshire. A man will be on trial later this year for theft.
Onana is not the first united star to seize a car.
In 2021 we told how the then medium fan Paul Pogba had seized his £ 300,000 Rolls-Royce Wraith when it had on Monaco-registered plates.
The Frenchman received three points with a fine of £ 220 and ordered £ 85 costs to be paid to the Tamesside Magistrates' Court.
He then collected thousands of more storage costs to leave the vehicle in the pound for months.
A car can be seized if an officer has grounds to believe that the driver is uninsured or not driving in accordance with their driver's license.
