‘Out of this World’ – Andre Onana’s bizarre goalkeeping during Man United vs Forest goes viral [video]
Manchester United got off to a bad start in their Premier League match against Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The Red Devils were anticipated to build on their good 2022/23 season in the 2023/24 season.
They were overwhelming favourites to beat Wolves in their Premier League debut, but despite barely winning, they were incredibly uninspiring and perhaps did not deserve to win. They followed that with a 2-0 loss against Tottenham Hotspur.
United were hoping to return to winning ways at Old Trafford against Nottingham Forest. However, they got off to the worst possible start, as the visitors took a shocking two-goal lead after only four minutes.
Taiwo Awoniyi scored the first goal, and Wily Boly extended his team’s lead five minutes later. According to Opta, United trailed Forest 2-0 in just 3 minutes and 47 seconds, the quickest the Red Devils have ever trailed by two goals in a Premier League game.
Andre Onana’s perplexing goalkeeping for Nottingham Forest’s first goal against Manchester United
United were defeated 1-0 by Nottingham Forest in extremely awful conditions. After Matt Turner pushed Antony’s strike round the post, the home side secured an early corner.
Forest coped with United’s set-piece and, astonishingly, found themselves one goal up soon after. Awoniyi beat Marcus Rashford to the ball at the halfway line after Morgan Gibbs-White headed it on. The Nigerian then galloped away, just having to beat United’s £47.2m summer acquisition, Andre Onana. He accomplished this with ease, giving his team an early lead.
Onana’s goalkeeping performance in the opener went viral on social media. The Cameroonian was duped by Forest’s in-form striker and sat down before his attempt on goal. That made it simple for Awoniyi to sneak the ball into the corner. View Onana’s goalkeeping performance for Forest’s first game below…
WHAT WAS ONANA DOING ??? 😭
