Non-broadcasted footage of Andre Onana celebrating Alejandro Garnacho’s equalising goal – and Rasmus Hojlund’s winner – in Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Aston Villa has gone viral.
United went 2-0 down against Unai Emery’s side through goals from John McGinn and Leander Dendoncker, and were on course to record a fourth Premier League defeat in six games.
But they started the second half brightly, and Garnacho’s early strike – although ruled out for offside – did offer up some hope for the United faithful.
The Argentinian did get his goal on 59 minutes, before levelling the scores on 71 minutes with a fierce deflected strike beyond Emiliano Martinez in the Villa goal.
Hojlund’s 82nd-minute strike – his first Premier League goal – secured a superb Boxing Day comeback for Erik ten Hag’s side.
Old Trafford erupted after the goal – and Onana’s incredible celebration on that occasion summed up the feelings inside the stadium.

It was at 2-2, though, where United looked more likely to go and pick up all three points, and that was a fact not lost on United goalkeeper Onana.
The Cameroonian ran straight towards the fans while pumping the air with joy, before motioning for the United supporters to produce even more noise to help push their side to a famous Old Trafford victory.
Hojlund’s late strike – a superb left-footed finish in off the post from 12 yards – secured that victory, with Ten Hag’s side moving up to sixth place in the Premier League table as a result.
Speaking after the game, Ten Hag told Amazon Prime: “People don’t see. They only judge the result, but we also played a solid game.
“They see the results and they are complaining. I know football is about results, but as a manager, you also have to see the performances.”
