Andre Onana produces a brilliant reaction from Jose Mourinho (Photos from TNT Sports)
Andre Onana was the main reason Man United were 1-0 up at half-time in their Europa League clash against Fenerbahce as the goalkeeper produced a double save that saw Jose Mourinho lost his head.
The game in Turkey was another pressure game for Erik ten Hag as his job at Old Trafford remains under threat after an underwhelming start to the 2024/25 campaign.
Man United are currently 12th in the Premier League and are yet to win a game in the Europa League.
Thursday night’s European clash with Fenerbahce turned out to be a big one for the Dutch coach, especially with former Red Devils manager Jose Mourinho in the opposite dugout.
The Premier League side took the lead in the 15th minute when Christin Eriksen finished off a brilliant move for Man United. The Premier League club came under pressure after taking the lead and they could not have complained if the Turkish side drew level.
However, Onana stepped up late in the half to deny the Turkish giants not once, but twice.
This prompted a hilarious reaction from Mourinho, who put his hands to his head after being stunned by the Cameroon goalkeeper’s performance.
ANDRÉ ONANA SENSATIONAL! ?
Jose Mourinho’s reaction to this double stoppage sums it up…

Andre Onana has turned his career around at Man United
Onana has been at Man United since he completed one move of 55 million euros from Inter last summer and the goalkeeper’s life at Old Trafford got off to a bad start due to a number of mistakes. This led to much criticism, but the 28-year-old has turned his career around at the English giants.
The Cameroonian has been more reliable between the sticks and this was evident in Thursday night’s match with Fenerbahce.
The former Inter star’s double save was a wonderful piece of goalkeeping and deserved a reaction like Mourinho’s.
