MANCHESTER UNITED fans have said their "jaws literally dropped" after watching Andre Onana's passes during their friendly against Borussia Dortmund yesterday.
United signed Onana for £47million from Inter Milan this month and the keeper has so far played two games for the Red Devils during their pre-season tour of America.
In both, the Cameroon international has exhibited an impressive passing range – which will be key to Erik Ten Hag's tactical style going forward.
Two clips have circulated from United's 3-2 defeat to Borussia Dortmund that have excited United fans on Twitter.
The first sees Onana roll the ball under his studs before playing Bruno Fernandes through on goal with a long pass from his own half.
The move was then stopped due to Fernandes being offside.

And the second shows how Onana can pick out his team-mates from an even longer range.
The goalkeeper carries the ball to the edge of his box before pinging the ball perfectly into the direction of Rashford with a drop-kick from the edge of his penalty area.
One fan wrote: "When Onana did this my jaw literally dropped."
And another replied to the pass saying: "Onana might bag a few assists with Rashford’s pace in behind"

A third excited fan said: "It's not just that the pass reaches Bruno…it's the fact it's in stride…his passing range is probably better than all our players…at par with Bruno"
But some trolls have pointed out that Rashford should have done better with the ball supplied to him by Onana in the 95th minute.
One fan wrote: "ONANA INCREDIBLE PASS BUT RASFORDDDD OH MY LORD."
Another added: "Phenomenal pass, but Rashford's attitude here that p***** me off with him so much! He act like he is prime Ronaldo with his body language…. He need to work hard for every ball FFS."
United fans will be hoping that Onana's performances will be leading the to better results than in their friendly against Dortmund yesterday.
United lost the bad-tempered game 3-2 with teenage prospect Omari Forson having to be hauled off before half-time to prevent the youngster from getting a red card.
Onana also had a heated exchange with transfer-listed centre-back Harry Maguire after a perceived mistake.
Defender Diogo Dalot and winger Antony were able to get on the score sheet to bag United's two goals.
