Man Utd fans were left stunned by what Andre Onana did moments after Harry Maguire completed the incredible comeback against Lyon.

‘Worst Goalkeeper in Man Utd History’ Has Final Say in Thrilling Europa League Quarter-Final

Manchester United’s Europa League quarter-final clash with Lyon turned into a dramatic night at Old Trafford—especially for goalkeeper André Onana.

Heading into the tie, Onana had been harshly branded “the worst goalkeeper in Man Utd history” by critics following his inconsistent performances. But by the end of the second leg, he had the last laugh.

United held a 4-2 aggregate advantage after scoring twice at home, but Lyon roared back with quickfire goals from Corentin Tolisso and Nicolas Tagliafico to level the tie.

With just a minute of normal time remaining, Lyon’s Tolisso was shown a second yellow card, reducing the visitors to 10 men going into extra time. Despite the disadvantage, Lyon stunned Old Trafford by scoring twice—first through a sharp finish from Rayan Cherki, then a penalty converted by Alexandre Lacazette—putting them 4-2 ahead on the night.

What followed was a breathtaking response from Erik ten Hag’s men. With six minutes of extra time left, Bruno Fernandes converted a penalty, sparking a late United surge. Kobbie Mainoo and Harry Maguire each found the net in the space of a minute, with Maguire’s towering header sealing a dramatic victory.

In the chaotic aftermath, Onana became the subject of social media buzz—not for a blunder, but for collapsing with cramp after the winning goal. Though cramps are common in outfield players during intense matches, it’s rare for goalkeepers to be affected, making Onana’s moment all the more talked-about.

“Got a cramp afterwards—dances too much that Onana,” joked one user on X (formerly Twitter). Others chimed in with comments like: “Onana going down with cramp sums that game up,” “Onana has a cramp for what??????” and the cheeky, “Went to celebrate a goal and on his way back faked a cramp.”

Despite the teasing, the Cameroonian keeper shook off the discomfort and helped his side advance to the Europa League semi-finals, where they’ll meet Athletic Bilbao next month.

Onana may not have silenced every critic, but in one of United’s wildest nights in Europe, he played his part—and left with a smile.
