Ecstatic scenes unfolded as Manchester United staged a thrilling comeback against Aston Villa, and a never-before-seen video captured goalkeeper Andre Onana’s jubilant reaction. Social networks are abuzz with footage of Onana’s passionate celebration of her unforgettable victory.
The match at Old Trafford on Tuesday is of significant importance for manager Erik ten Hag, who is facing increasing pressure due to a series of unfavorable results. Attention was further increased when Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s £1.3bn deal to buy a 25% stake in the club was officially announced on Sunday. Sir David Brailsford, the 71-year-old billionaire’s right-hand man and INEOS sports director, observed the match from the stands.
Despite being 2-0 down at half-time against Unai Emery’s high-flying Villa, fans are still hopeful that the new investment will instill more confidence in the team. Unreleased footage shows Onana’s emotional celebrations at key moments, running to the corner flag to share in the joy with passionate fans.
The second half saw a resurgent United, and although Alejandro Garnacho’s initial disallowed goal added to the tension, the team persevered. Garnacho emerged as the star of the show, scoring twice in 12 minutes to level the playing field.
The decisive moment came when Rasmus Hojlund scored his first Premier League goal with less than 10 minutes of normal time remaining, giving United the lead and igniting enthusiasm in the crowd of 74,000. The video of Onana’s excitement has since gone viral, capturing the spirit of joy that filled Old Trafford during this remarkable return.
