Manchester United and their former manager Jose Mourinho were reunited tonight when the Red Devils travelled to Turkey to take on his side Fenerbahce in their third game of the Europa League group phase for the 2024-25 campaign.
The visitors took the lead through Christian Eriksen 15 minutes into the game, and the hosts attempted to draw level severally afterwards.
Fenerbahce came close to equalising in the 37th minute, but a double save from Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana thwarted their efforts, and Mourinho could not believe what he saw from the Cameroonian, and his reaction speaks volumes.
Onana has been brilliant so far this term following an underwhelming debut campaign with the Red Devils, and it is unsurprising that the coaching staff are very happy with his development following an impressive start to his second season at the Old Trafford club.
The Man United goalie also made a stellar double save against Crystal Palace last month and he was at it again tonight, earning comparisons with Peter Schmeichel who famously made one of the greatest saves ever seen against Rapid Vienna in 1996.
Onana is still a long way to go to establish himself as a Man United goalkeeping great like the Danish legend, but he has been brilliant this term and could soon be in contention to be named the best in the world.
The 28-year-old has kept four clean sheets in eight Premier League appearances this term and has been one of the best performers at the club in what has been a disappointing start to the new season for Man United.
The other players will need to step up and start putting in top-notch performances regularly like Onana if the Red Devils are to win major silverware this term and keep manager Erik ten Hag in his job.
