SUPPORTERS were left in stitches after watching Andre Onana’s attempt at mind games go horribly wrong against Arsenal.
Manchester United lost 2-1 to Gunners in Los Angeles in the first game of their USA tour.
Onana is a likeable human being. I’m not even trolling

Rasmus Hojlund gave them the lead before he hobbled off injured moments later.
Gabriel Jesus levelled for Arsenal before Gabriel Martinelli won it for them with ten minutes left.
United manager Erik ten Hag was happy with his side’s performance despite the setback.
And they did at least have the consolation of winning the end of game penalty shoot-out exhibition by 4-3.
During the penalties, Red Devils goalie Onana was spotted trying his best to put off Arsenal’s Fabio Vieira.
The Cameroon ace took a step to his right and then started pointing at the huge space to his left, almost daring the Portuguese ace to shoot there.
Onana, who was one of United’s best performers against Arsenal, continued to throw his arms in that direction as the ice cool Vieria strode forwards to take his kick.
However, the United stopper’s antics failed to have the desired effect as he dived the way he had been pointing while the midfielder slotted home in the opposition corner.

Footage of Onana was soon shared on social media, and it quickly got supporters talking.
One posted: “Onana is a likeable human being. I’m not even trolling.”
Another said: “The player too was good with mind reading. I love it.”
A third commented: “He will thrive in comedy.”
A fellow fan called him a “funny guy” as another declared that he was “too funny”.
A sixth said: “That’s a clown move.”
While a seventh added: “Onana played too much Fifa.”
Meanwhile, the man Onana replaced as the club’s No.1 David de Gea is allegedly in talks with a Serie A club and could reject transfer offers from Saudi Arabia and USA.
The Spanish goalie, 33, exited Old Trafford as a free agent last summer after 12 years at the club – even though he won the Premier League Golden Glove in his final term.

The Red Devils infamously released the star on his wedding day in June.
The keeper has been linked with various Premier League clubs, such as Newcastle and Nottingham Forest.
And he has also been “presented with several options, including offers from Saudi Arabia, the United States and Italy”.
And it is the latter that they state could be on the verge of happening.
We reported in the week how De Gea has been offered to Genoa.
Now this fresh report has claimed that he is in talks to join the Serie A club on a free transfer.
