MANCHESTER UNITED fans said "I love this guy" after spotting Andre Onana celebrating Alejandro Garnacho's opener in their 2-1 FA Cup final win against Man City.

The goalie lined up between the sticks for Erik ten Hag's Red Devils in Saturday's showpiece game at Wembley, which saw United avenge last season's defeat against their bitter rivals.

And things went exactly to plan after half an hour when Garnacho fired United ahead at the home of English football.

A dreadful error from Josko Gvardiol saw the ball headed over City goalie Stefan Ortega and straight into the Argentine winger's path.

Garnacho was able to simply tap home as he gave his side the lead.

And it sparked wild celebrations on and off the pitch, with players and fans both jubilant over the effort.

However, Onana appeared to be happier than the rest of his teammates.

The goalie was marshalling his own net down the other end of the pitch when Garnacho struck.

The Argentine celebrated immediately as pals rushed to congratulate him.

And Onana did not want to be left out as he sprinted the length of the field to join in the party.
