Andre Onana added to the post-derby excitement with a cheeky post after Manchester United’s thrilling win over Manchester City on Sunday. The goalkeeper, who played a key role in the 2-1 victory, amused fans with his choice of post, as United players shared cryptic and playful messages on social media following their dramatic comeback at the Etihad.
City had looked on course for another victory after Josko Gvardiol’s header put them in the lead in the first half. However, Amad Diallo sparked a late turnaround, winning a penalty that Bruno Fernandes converted before sealing the win with a lobbed finish over Ederson in stoppage time. The dramatic goal sent United’s away supporters into raptures, and Onana, clearly enjoying the moment, celebrated with them behind his post, leading the charge with wild enthusiasm.
Manchester United players took to social media to share their joy and drop some cryptic remarks. Rasmus Hojlund, who had an early confrontation with City captain Kyle Walker, took a swipe at him after the match. Hojlund, who had been fouled by Walker and responded with a face-to-face exchange, posted a playful message on Instagram: “Manchester is red, violets are blue, what a brilliant performance, but the Oscar goes to…” – referencing Walker’s dramatic fall to the ground during the incident.
Meanwhile, Onana shared a photo of himself ‘resting’ on top of Manchester City’s Bernardo Silva, much to the delight of United fans who appreciated the playful jab at their rivals. The post-game banter added an extra layer of fun to United’s first Premier League win in three matches.
