The Cameroon international was at fault for the second half penalty Galatasaray were awarded as United fell to defeat once again.

Meanwhile De Gea, who is still without a club, posted a picture on Instagram, with many thinking that it was in relation to the events taking place in the north West of England.

A second posted: "This is how you glow when you are far away from toxicity.

"Man is trolling Man Utd," a third wrote.

Another said: "He knows what he’s doing."

Despite facing increasing pressure, Ten Hag maintained his backing in Onana and said he can be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

He told TNT Sports: "We are happy with our goalkeeping group, definitely with Andre.

"He was in one semi-final of the Champions League, last year he was in the final of the Champions League, he has the capablilties to be one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

"He has shown that and he will do. We already have seen in games his great capabilites, also his personality after he made mistakes. He will bounce back and I am sure he will in the coming games as well."
