Manchester United keeper Andre Onana was among the athletes who sat ringside in Riyadh for Saudi Arabia’s latest boxing event.

Onana was in the Middle East for Saturday night’s ceremony, one week after helping United win the FA Cup by defeating Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.

The Cameroon international was seen conversing with Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and the driving force behind Saudi Arabia’s sports boom, and presenting him with a United shirt bearing his name on the back.

Onana also met with Anthony Joshua, who was ringside for the headlining fights between Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang and Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic. Zhang and Dubois emerged winners, and Joshua will now fight the latter at Wembley in September.

One of Erik ten Hag’s players who overcame a difficult season was Onana, who spent £47.2 million to join United from Inter Milan last summer. Before returning to Manchester to start preseason training, the 28-year-old is anticipated to visit Cameroon to spend time with his family.

United will play Glasgow Rangers at Murrayfield and Rosenborg in Norway before embarking on a US trip that will feature matches against Arsenal in Los Angeles, Real Betis in San Diego, and Liverpool in South Carolina. United and City will play each other again in the Community Shield on August 10.
