Onana, 28, attempted to pass from the back, but his ball to Matthijs de Ligt was intercepted. Pavel Sulc seized the opportunity and laid it off to former Watford and Burnley player Matej Vydra, who scored.

The blunder left United fan Littler fuming as he shared his thoughts on social media. The darts star posted a screenshot of his television showing the match with the caption: “Bring back Dave.” He later deleted the post on X.

Littler, 17, was referencing goalkeeper David de Gea, who left the club at the end of his contract in 2023. The Spaniard spent a season out of football but is now playing for Fiorentina in Italy.

Statistics suggest that De Gea is among the top goalkeepers in Europe. This incident adds to Onana’s list of errors since taking over for De Gea.

Earlier in the match, Onana collided with Casemiro, leaving the Brazilian hurt on the pitch. In the Red Devils’ loss to Nottingham Forest, Onana was beaten by a shot from Morgan Gibbs-White, despite it being directly down the middle.

Fortunately, Onana was bailed out by his teammates this time. Substitute Rasmus Hojlund scored twice to turn the match around. The striker capitalized after good work from Amad Diallo and tapped into an empty net for the equalizer. He then received a clever pass from Bruno Fernandes to net the winner in the 88th minute.

After the victory, Fernandes defended Onana, insisting that his mistake should not be “focused on.” He told TNT Sports: “We want to play from the back. Everyone knows we need to make the right decision. Andre missed the pass, but there’s nothing we should dwell on. It’s not just about Andre [Onana] making a mistake; we don’t single out individuals.

“It’s about all the players involved, and we have great belief in Andre. He knows he made a mistake; he’s a smart guy, and we don’t need to remind him. He’ll assist us when playing out from the back – we trust his abilities.”
