MANCHESTER UNITED fans might be starting to forgive Andre Onana after he pulled off an incredible piece of skill against Prem rivals Arsenal.

United lost 2-1 to the Gunners in Los Angeles in the first game of their USA tour.

Onana feinted a long kick to trick Gabriel Jesus

Rasmus Hojlund gave the Red Devils the lead before he hobbled off injured moments later to the dismay of Erik ten Hag.

Gabriel Jesus levelled for Arsenal before Gabriel Martinelli won it for Mikel Arteta with ten minutes left.

But it was Onana who seemed to have earned major plaudits among the United faithful after some pretty poor, blunder-ridden performances last season.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper did improve towards the back end of last term – but now the turnaround appears to be complete.

That is after Onana pulled off an incredible bit of ground skill to leave Jesus blocking the air.

After receiving the ball from Jonny Evans, he tricked Jesus – who was intently chasing down – by feinting to kick the ball long before smoothly turning out.

And the 48th minute dummy left many United fans dazzled.

One wrote: “ONANA, ARE YOU MAD?”

A second said: “Onana can play as a midfielder.”

Others added: “He just cooked Jesus” and “I love the confidence. He’s too cold!”

While another noted: “Ten Hag and his coaches have to utilise Onana’s ball playing skills more in the coming season, they simply have to.”

United did at least have the consolation of winning the end of game penalty shoot-out exhibition 4-3.

And Onana was spotted trying his best to put off Arsenal’s Fabio Vieira and several of his team-mates.

He stepped to his right and then, in a hilarious exchange, began gesturing at the large area to his left, practically daring the Portuguese ace to attempt a shot there.

The goalkeeper was praised for his excellent movement before coming for £47 million last summer.

Ten Hag was cited as having brought Onana to Old Trafford mostly because of his impressive performance for Champions League finalists Inter Milan the season before.
