Manchester United fans were all saying the same thing as they watched Andre Onana produce a masterclass in distribution during the Champions League final.
Onana's Inter Milan succumbed to Manchester City, who won the Istanbul showdown 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal by Rodri.
But the Inter goalkeeper left an impression on Man United fans online as they spoke glowingly about his distribution, comparing him to David de Gea.

The 27-year-old, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, showed off his range of passing and vision as he brilliantly set up attacks from goal.
A compilation of his distribution has Man United supporters in awe as they hope to secure his services ahead of the new season.
One Twitter user wrote: "The city players pressed him with full respect to him because they knew how untouchable the ball was once he possessed it. He’s just so sound."

A second tweeted: "I love de Gea but watching Onana in that final really hit it home for me. We play with 10 men. They play with 11."
A third added: "What I admire about him is his confidence on and off the ball. Commands his area very well and good with his ball distribution both long and short."
A fourth said: "You can't press a goalie like Onana. He's so brilliant with his choice of passes and accurate. See the way he opens attack."
Another commented: "He was the best player on the pitch yesterday."

Onana spent six seasons in the Netherlands before sealing a move to Inter last summer.
It appears Man United fans on social media want the Cameroonian at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag thought to be keen on replacing De Gea this summer.
