"He wants to play as a midfielder" - Fans laugh at Andre Onana as Manchester United fan predicted goal from half line just seconds before they scored

Fans laughed at Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana after a fan posted a video on Twitter predicting that he would concede a goal from the halfway line seconds before he did.Manchester United defeated Lens 3-1 in their pre-season friendly clash at Old Trafford yesterday (August 5). The Red Devils came alive in the second half, scoring three goals within the span of 11 minutes. Marcus Rashford, Antony, and Casemiro were able to get on the scoresheet.However, all wasn't as smooth in the first half. Erik ten Hag's men played poorly despite the Dutchman fielding arguably their strongest XI. They were unable to register a shot on target in the first half with Mason Mount missing an open goal in the 15th minute.Manchester United also went 1-0 down in the 23rd minute. Diogo Dalot played a loose ball that was intended for Raphael Varane. Unfortunately for him, Lens' Florian Sotoca intercepted it and audaciously lobbed Onana from the halfway line.A fan reposted a video on Twitter (uploaded by @moesbr_ on TikTok). The former Inter Milan shot-stopper could be seen way ahead of his box, with the fan predicting that he would concede due to his questionable positioning.SM@hvemerS🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/GuPFM6Mw103324869🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 pic.twitter.com/GuPFM6Mw10This hilariously came to fruition as Onana conceded just seconds later.
