Andre Onana 'dives out of the way' of Morgan Gibbs-White strike in Man United collapse

Andre Onana produced a 'disgusting' howler in Manchester United's 3-2 defeat to Nottingham Forest.

Forest star Morgan Gibbs-White took a shot from the edge of the box that appeared to be heading straight towards Onana.

It looked like it would be a regulation save for the United gloveman.

However, Onana had already fallen towards the right and could only watch as the ball rolled past his outstretched left leg.

talkSPORT commentators Jason Cundy and Jamie O'Hara couldn't believe the calamity they'd just witnessed.

"What is he doing?" Cundy said. "It's disgusting!"

"There's no deflection. What's going on?"

O'Hara added: "One of the worst saves I've ever seen. What's he doing? Centre of the goal, that's embarrassing!

"If that went in in an under-eight game, and the keeper let that in, you'd go, 'What are you doing?' It's straight at him and he dives out of the way!"

Cundy said: "It's like he's tripped over. He's got that in his DNA, doesn't he?"

Gibbs-White's goal was not the first time Onana has been made to look foolish against Forest.

In August last season, Onana tried to pre-empt which way Forest forward Taiwo Awoniyi would shoot, only to fall on his backside.

It left Awoniyi with almost the entire goal to aim at and he did not miss.

Luckily for Onana his teammates spared his blushes that day as the Red Devils came back to win 3-2.

However, the scoreline would be reversed this time around.

Gibbs-White's goal put Nottingham Forest 2-1 up against Man United following Nikola Milenkovic's opener just two minutes in.

Rasmus Hojlund drew the game level shortly after, however Gibbs-White's 47th-miute strike put Forest in control.

Things then went from bad to worse when Chris Wood made it 3-1 to Forest, leaving Old Trafford shell-shocked.

Wood's goal also ensured he had a slice of club history as he became Forest's all-time Premier League goalscorer with 25 to his name.

However, United skipper Bruno Fernandes sparked hopes of a comeback when he reduced the deficit to 3-2 just seven minutes after.

Fernandes capped off a rapid counter-attack as he swept home a pass inside by the box from Amad Diallo, who has impressed as a right wing-back in Red Devils boss Ruben Amorim's system.

Despite the home side's best efforts, a third goal was not forthcoming as Forest recorded their first win at Old Trafford in 30 years.

The result also marked only the second time in Amorim's managerial career he has lost back-to-back league games.
