‘Hey, big man’ – Fans spotted Andre Onana’s message as Man Utd star did his best to put off Erling Haaland’s penalty

Fans think they have worked out what Andre Onana said to Erling Haaland during the Community Shield penalty shootout.

On Saturday Manchester City beat Manchester United on penalties at Wembley to win the Community Shield for the first time since 2019.

With the score locked at 1-1, City prevailed 7-6 in the penalty shootout.

With Erik ten Hag’s team scoring the first three goals in the shootout and Andre Onana stopping Silva’s attempts, United had the upper hand early on.

But after Ederson deflected Jadon Sancho’s penalty onto the post and Jonny Evans smashed his attempt over the crossbar, giving Manuel Akanji the opportunity to score the winner, the tide turned in City’s favor.

As expected, Erling Haaland coolly converted his penalty for City. The Norwegian star is one of the best penalty takers around, but that didn’t stop Onana from doing his best to put the striker off.

The United goalkeeper stood to the left hand-side of his goal and invited Haaland to place his kick into the right corner.

Fans on X noticed that Onana appeared to be shouting “hey, big man” at the 24-year-old, but it made little difference.

Haaland smiled before rolling the ball to the left as Onana dived the other way.

Haaland shot the goalkeeper a cheeky grin as he walked away, but in fairness to the striker he was good-natured about it.
