Jose Mourinho reacts to Andre Onana’s double save in Manchester United vs Fenerbahce game

Manchester United were reunited with former manager Jose Mourinho tonight when they visited Fenerbahce in their third game of the 2024/25 Europa League group phase.

Christian Eriksen put United ahead after 15 minutes, and the hosts attempted to draw level several times afterwards.

Fenerbahce came close to equalising in the 37th minute, but a double save from Man United goalkeeper Andre Onana thwarted their efforts.

Mourinho could not believe what he saw from the Cameroonian, and his reaction speaks volumes.

Onana has been brilliant this term following an underwhelming debut campaign with the Red Devils.

It is unsurprising that the coaching staff are very happy with his development following an impressive start to his second season at the club.

The Man United goalie also made a stellar double save against Crystal Palace last month, and he was at it again tonight.

His double save earned comparisons with Peter Schmeichel, who famously made one of the greatest saves ever seen against Rapid Vienna in 1996.

Onana still has a long way to go to establish himself as a goalkeeping great like the Danish legend, but he has been brilliant this term and could soon be in contention to be named the best in the world.

The 28-year-old has kept four clean sheets in eight Premier League appearances this term and has been one of the best performers in what has been a disappointing start to the new season.

The other players will need to start putting in top-notch performances like Onana if United are to win major silverware and keep manager Erik ten Hag in his job.
