UEL: Mourinho names Man Utd star as “most decisive player” in 1-1 draw with Fenerbahce

Fenerbahce manager, Jose Mourinho, has hailed Andre Onana’s display in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Onana produced an excellent double save in the first half to keep the score at 1-0, after Christian Eriksen opened the scoring.

However, the Cameroon goalkeeper was not able to keep out Youssef En Neysri’s header after the break, as the Turkish side levelled the scores.

But Mourinho singled Onana out for praise at the end of the game.
