Onana Is Beaten From The Halway Line With An Insane Goal

On his Old Trafford debut, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana was beaten from 40 yards in a pre-season clash against Ligue 1 outfit RC Lens.

The 27-year-old former Cameroon international, who joined the Premier League side from Inter Milan last month for a reported £47.2 million, impressed in large spells throughout United's pre-season tour of America.

But he was caught off guard in the 23rd minute of Saturday's game, when the French side took a shock 1-0 lead through Florian Sotoca.

As you can see in the footage below, United full-back Diogo Dalot gave away possession with a sloppy pass before former Montpellier striker Sotoca capitalised with a first-time shot.

You've got to give Sotoca credit for putting his side ahead with such an audacious effort from range, but some have raised questions over Onana's positioning.

Watch video below..

 Here's how social media reacted to the goal.

One fan said: "This isn’t Onana’s fault really, he’s positioned where he should be for where Utd had the ball. But remembering the slander Ramsdale got for a similar goal against Sporting, it’ll be amusing to watch certain people change their tune how it’s their GK."

A second wrote: "Prats will blame Onana for that goal. It's Dalot's pass. Any keeper who is a sweeper keeper is in big danger of getting beaten in that scenario," while a third commented: "People are gonna blame Onana for that like he should expect his defence to misplace a 3yd pass."

A fourth said: "United fans were gassing up Onana for half the season only for him to get chipped from the halfway line on his Old Trafford debut I'm crying."

A fifth added: "This goal gives Onana a gentle warning for his positioning."
