Manchester United managed to secure a 2-1 victory at Old Trafford in a heated Premier League clash against the Blues.
But they could have bagged a third goal as the Red Devils were given a penalty in the opening 10 minutes of the game.
United’s winger Antony was caught in a late challenge by Enzo Fernandez.
Referee Chris Kavanagh missed the tackle at first, but after a VAR intervention, he went over to the pitch-side monitor.
But a viral video has revealed someone called the decision before him as Onana was spotted telling Old Trafford with the thumbs up that the spot-kick would be awarded.
And fans have been left praising the Cameroonian on social media.
One fan said: “I love his character 😂.”
While a second posted: “He knows how to do another person job more than his own.”
A third wrote: “He knows ball 😂.”
However, Fernandes stood up to take the penalty but Robert Sanchez saved his tame effort.
The Portuguese midfielder has his blushes spared as goals from Scott McTominay either side of a strike from Cole Palmer earned United a big win.
Erik ten Hag’s side earned themselves an important three points to remain in the sixth spot of the league table ahead of their clash against Bournemouth on Saturday.
