Erik ten Hag's Manchester United defeated Lens in a pre-season friendly and new goalkeeper Andre Onana's error was the big talking point.

With the new Premier League season just days away, Manchester United ramped up preparations with a clash against French side Lens at Old Trafford.

United started brightly but conceded just after the 20-minute mark due to a combination of errors from Diogo Dalot and Andre Onana.

Dalot was robbed of possession and Lens forward Florian Sotoca moved just beyond the halfway line before lobbing a superb effort over the stranded Onana, who had strayed off his line.

Several fans were highly disappointed by the goal and tweeted in support of David De Gea who left the club after 12 years and was replaced with Onana.
