Manchester United managed to secure a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in a heated Premier League clash against the Blues.

But they could have bagged a third goal as the Red Devils were given a penalty in the opening 10 minutes of the game.

United’s winger Antony was caught in a late challenge by Enzo Fernandez.

Referee Chris Kavanagh missed the tackle at first, but after a VAR intervention, he went over to the pitch-side monitor.

But a viral video has revealed someone called the decision before him as Onana was spotted telling Old Trafford with the thumbs up that the spot-kick would be awarded.

And fans have been left praising the Cameroonian on social media.

One fan said: “I love his character 😂.”

While a second posted: “He knows how to do another person job more than his own.”

A third wrote: “He knows ball 😂.”

But Fernandes got up to accept the penalty, but Robert Sanchez parried his feeble attempt.

The Portuguese midfielder’s blushes were spared when Scott McTominay’s goals, either side of Cole Palmer’s goal, gave United a significant victory.
