Jordan, the son of Henrik Larsson, was denied by the £47 million-valued 27-year-old Cameroonian star, who dipped the right way in the closing move of the Champions League match.

Erik ten Hag’s team managed to hold on for a vital 1-0 victory and their first points of the group stage following Harry Maguire’s header.

Onana also played down his own bravery in the mixed zone beside the Old Trafford tunnel, all the while complimenting Maguire.

But before he could finish his sentence, Onana was given a hard slap on the shoulder by a large hand that emerged from out of frame.

Rio Ferdinand then made his appearance in front of the camera to congratulate the goalie.

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.
