Manchester United lost heartbreakingly to Nottingham Forest, 2-3. The majority of fans point the finger at Andre Onana, who was defeated by Nikola Milenkovic’s header and committed an error that let Morgan Gibbs-White score, even if the entire team didn’t play well.
It isn’t even the worst thing Onana did during the game, according to some supporters. In the ninetieth and sixth minutes, Mason Mount was fouled a few meters from the halfway line. Onana was able to send the ball into the box after outfield players left it there, but Andre tried to cheat by putting the ball around ten meters from the foul spot.
Onana took 30 seconds to return the ball after the referee saw it and instructed him to do so. He was rolling the ball back a few meters at a time while disputing with the referee. About 40 seconds were wasted on this episode, which is time that Man United players could have used to tie the score.
Fans are understandably incensed with Onana’s behavior here:
“Nearly 40 seconds lost after the whistle was blown lol,” the first individual stated.
“Onana wastes a whole minute with the ball instead of just placing it where the referee instructed him to,” the second fan adds. A group of people who drink.
Another says: “Despite the referee’s warnings, he meaninglessly puts the ball forward 1-2 meters away.” Do it four or five times. What a clown.
The fourth remarks: “Onana is utterly pitiful.” Take note of how many times the referee had to instruct him to return the ball.
After witnessing the episode, one even confessed that he wanted to strike his TV, adding, “I was about to punch the TV screen.”
