Man Utd fans can't believe what Andre Onana did in Cameroon match that would never happen in Premier League

Andre Onana's antics in action for Cameroon left Manchester United fans stunned online.

Andre Onana's antics while playing for Cameroon stunned Manchester United fans who wondered whether he would try and replicate playing for them.

After helping United to a 3-0 win over Leicester City on Sunday despite reportedly suffering with mild conjunctivitis, Onana jetted out on international duty and kept another clean sheet in a 0-0 draw with Eswatini on Wednesday.

There wasn't too much to write home about from the fairly forgettable fixture at the Mbombela Stadium but Onana's actions during the game became a huge talking point.

Cameroon failed to find the net against a side ranked 159th in the world and given their difficulties in front of goal, former Inter Milan shotstopper Onana tried to get involved and make a difference.

At one point in the stalemate, Cameroon had a free-kick which Brentford star Bryan Mbeumo was preparing to take from around 30 yards out.

Then, out of nowhere, Onana rushed up the pitch to offer his advice to his teammate. Giving a goalkeeper's view, he appeared to be focusing on the opposition's wall set-up and how his side could find the opening.

It didn't quite prove successful as Cameroon drew a blank but the intent from Onana has to be admired. He has provided set-piece instructions when playing for United against Fulham but only from further back and not from the position of where the free-kick was being taken.

And safe say to his stunt garnered plenty of reaction on social media.

One fan on X wrote: "Onana is doing too much, he is not the coach."

A second said: "Onana thinks his the arsenal set piece coach."

A third added: "Soon he'll be taking free kicks and corners."

A fourth user commented: "Zero respect for his teammates and coach."

A final person stated: "Doing everything but shot stopping."

David Raya did the same as Onana

As crazy as Onana's antics were, Arsenal's David Raya also did the same. During the 1-0 win over Chelsea, the Spaniard darted out of his goal and was in conversation with Declan Rice before the midfielder took a free-kick which ultimately led to nothing.
