- André Onana’s remarkable double save helped Manchester United secure a point against Fenerbahçe
- Despite Christian Eriksen’s early goal, the Red Devils struggled to maintain their lead, ultimately conceding to Youssef En-Nesyri
André Onana delivered a stunning double save during Manchester United’s 1-1 draw against Fenerbahçe in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday, October 24, 2024.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper, a nominee for the CAF Goalkeeper of the Year, received high praise despite the Red Devils only managing to secure a single point.
United opened the scoring in the 15th minute through Christian Eriksen, who executed a brilliant first-time strike following a well-orchestrated counterattack.
Although Fenerbahçe applied early pressure, Onana’s composure proved vital as he deflected a dangerous cross and thwarted Bright Osayi-Samuel’s attempts.
The highlight of the first half came when Onana made an extraordinary double save, denying Youssef En-Nesyri twice from point-blank range, reminiscent of Gordon Banks’ legendary stops.In the second half, Fenerbahçe equalized shortly after the restart when En-Nesyri capitalized on a precise cross from Allan Saint-Maximin.
Mourinho’s frustration peaked when he received a red card for protesting a penalty decision, further intensifying the match atmosphere.
While United controlled possession for much of the game, they struggled to create clear-cut chances, reflecting their ongoing Achilles’ heel of failing to maintain leads.
Mourinho praised Onana as the standout player, acknowledging his pivotal role in securing a point for United. This draw marked the team’s third consecutive stalemate in the tournament, raising concerns among fans about their defensive frailties.
Next up for United is a Premier League clash against West Ham on Sunday, followed by an EFL Cup tie against Leicester in midweek.
