HUMBLE Andre Onana saw his live TV interview gatecrashed by a Manchester United legend.
The Red Devils goalkeeper had plenty of media work to do following his 97th-minute penalty save against Copenhagen.
Andre Onana spoke to the media after his heroics at Old Trafford
The Manchester United goalkeeper’s interview was gatecrashed
The mystеry man was former United defender Rio Ferdinand
Onana was genuinely touched and appreciative of the gesture
He went the right way to make the last-gasp penalty save
With the final move of the Champions League match, the 27-year-old Cameroonian star, valued at £47 million, dove the proper way to deny Jordan, the son of Henrik Larsson.
After Harry Maguire’s header, that made sure Erik ten Hag’s team held on for a crucial 1-0 victory and their first points of the group stage.
Additionally, Onana downplayed his own valor while praising Maguire during his media interview in the mixed zone next to the Old Trafford tunnel.
But as he was talking, a booming voice came from out of shot before a big hand slapped Onana on the shoulder.
Then Rio Ferdinand appeared in front of the camera congratulating the goalkeeper.
The ex-defender, who was covering the game as a pundit for TNT Sports, said: “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!”
He then shook hands with Onana and added: “Take care, good luck.”
A blushing Onana – who has sparked a blossoming bromance with Tyson Fury – could not help but smile at the wholesome interaction as he replied: “Thank you.”
In his interview, fans joked he had taken a leaf out of Roy Keane’s book with his brilliant response.
Asked about his suρer save, Onana said: “I was just doing my job, being calm, not under pressure and making myself big, waiting as long as possible and making the save.
“We had to win this game. We cannot go out after the first three games already, we are too big to go out so soon as possible. We have to figҺt and work hard.
“I am happy for the goal from Harry, he was the hero tonight and I am very happy for him.”
Eagle-eyed supporters hailed Alejandro Garnacho for scuffing up the penalty spot ahead of Larsson’s effort.
But others think the penalty should have been retaken as a reverse angle appeared to show Onana had come off his line before the kιck.
