‘Better than David Raya’ – Fans praise Onana’s pull off incredible double save as Man Utd star hold one point for Red Devils

ANDRE ONANA has left Man Utd fans speechless with a remarkable double-save.

The Red Devils stopper somehow kept the scores level during Saturday’s 0-0 draw with Crystal Palace.

Onana was at full stretch to keep out a low drive from Eddie Nketiah just after the hour mark at Selhurst Park.

The 28-year-old got down smartly to palm away the effort from the ex-Arsenal forward.

But the ball rebounded nicely for substitute Ismaila Sarr, who looked certain to fire the Eagles into the lead.

Onana had no time to get back to his feet after the initial save and had to think fast.

He instantly threw his body in Sarr’s direction, somehow keeping out the rebound and tipping the ball round the post.

One fan gasped on X: “That is a world-class save,” as Onana was mobbed by his teammates.

Another responded: “Onana, I was not familiar with your game.”

The stop was quickly compared by supporters to David Raya’s amazing Thursday penalty save against Atalanta.

In the Champions League, the Arsenal goalie stopped Mateo Retegui with a “crazy” double stop.

Another fan laughed: “Onana said DAVID RAYA COME OUTSIDE!!!!”

While a second claimed: “That Onana double save was better than Raya’s!

And another commented: “Raya who?! That double save from Onana is absolutely legendary!”

Onana’s heroics helped secure a point for United, who dominated possession in South London but proved wasteful in front of goal.

Marcus Rashford was left out by boss Erik ten Hag, with the Red Devils proving shot-shy in the first half.

Onana’s opposite number Dean Henderson was in inspired form, making a string of key saves.

And United could have been down to ten men after Lisandro Martinez’s “crazy” second-half tackle.

The Argentine defender’s two-footed lunge on Daichi Kamada infuriated Palace players and supporters.

Martinez did not receive a red card for the incident because VAR determined that he had not “made contact” with the Eagles player.
