Manchester United fans were infuriated at the end when Onana wasted close to 30 seconds arguing with the referee about where to take a free kick. The incident happened in stoppage time as Amorim's charges were desperately looking for an equaliser.

Jaydeep said,

"Time and again, he keeps showing why he isn't an upgrade on De Gea. So many average signings in that ETH era."

Oscar said,

"I still have no idea what he was thinking."

Amorim Ball said,

"I was about to punch the TV screen."
