Andre Onana delivered a show-stopping performance in Manchester United’s Europa League clash against Fenerbahce on Thursday, making a remarkable double save that left Jose Mourinho in disbelief.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper’s heroics came during a critical moment, denying Youssef En-Nesyri twice from point-blank range in a stunning display of reflexes.
Although Onana later conceded to En-Nesyri just four minutes after halftime, his brilliance between the posts did not go unnoticed.
His remarkable save drew admiration from the sidelines, particularly from Mourinho, who was visibly shocked by the goalkeeper’s acrobatic effort, as noted by Goal.
In a viral video circulating on social media, the Portuguese coach can be seen holding his head in his hands, astonished by Onana’s extraordinary double stop.

@mac_shad chimed in,
“Andre Onana has been awesome this season.”

What a save, man 😭.” @UTDKingpin cheekily wrote, “Onana is driving Mourinho crazy 🤪. What a double save!” The former Ajax shot-stopper has been a standout performer this season, often bailing out Erik ten Hag’s side during a challenging campaign.
In the game against Fenerbahce, the 28-year-old was once again the difference-maker, bringing his A-game to the Şükrü Saracoğlu Stadium in Istanbul.
His crucial interventions helped United secure a vital 1-1 draw against a tough Fenerbahce side, proving his value as one of Europe’s top goalkeepers, per Eurosport.
Prior to Onana’s impressive performance in Europe’s second-tier competition, the Manchester United goalkeeper received recognition from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Onana was named among the goalkeepers shortlisted for the Best Custodian accolade at this year’s CAF Awards, scheduled to take place in Morocco.
