Fans “love” Andre Onana after seeing what he did before drawing a foul against Chelsea for Manchester United.
Even though Bruno Fernandes missed the penalty kick on Wednesday night, fans praised the goalie for telling the players that there was a penalty before the referee did.
The Premier League game between Manchester United and Chelsea was very close, but Manchester United won 2-1 at Old Trafford.
But they had a chance to score a third goal because the Red Devils were given a penalty in the first ten minutes of the game.
Antony, a winger for United, was caught by Enzo Fernandez in a late tackle.
The referee, Chris Kavanagh, missed the hit at first, but after VAR stepped in, he went over to the monitor on the field.
But a video that went viral shows that someone called the call before him. Onana was seen giving Old Trafford the thumbs up to show that the penalty kick would be given.
The Cameroonian has been praised by friends on social media.
A fan said, “I love his character .”
“He knows how to do someone else’s job better than his own,” said a second.
Someone else wrote, “He knows the ball .”
Fernandes stepped up to take the spot, but Robert Sanchez stopped his weak shot.
United beat Chelsea 4-0 thanks to goals from Scott McTominay and Cole Palmer. The Portuguese player didn’t feel bad about it.
Their three points were very important as they stayed in sixth place in the league table ahead of their game against Bournemouth on Saturday.
