Onana was slammed after Nottingham Forest opened the scoring with Taiwo Awoniyi
Fans joked Onana tried to levitate to put Awoniyi off in a major blunder
But the Cameroonian lost his balance and fell backwards just before Awoniyi hit his bottom left corner to open the scoring just two minutes after kick-off.
And the 27-year-old’s error attracted some unwanted attention from fans on Twitter.
Some joked Onana was trying to levitate to put Awoniyi off and others laughed off United’s claims that he is David de Gea’s successor after spending £47million to sign him from Inter Milan this summer.
One fan tweeted: “Onana tried levitation to stop Awoniyi scoring…”
Another posted: “Bro said, ‘It’s time to rest’.”
This fan said: “Bro was doing yoga.”
And that one commented: “‘De Gea upgrade’.”

Two minutes later, Willy Boly extended Forest’s lead, making things worse for United.
But in the 17th minute, Christian Eriksen gave the Red Devils their first goal.
Following Casemiro’s equalizer on minute 52, Bruno Fernandes’ game-turning penalty kick on minute 76 sealed a thrilling 3-2 victory.
