Francis Ngannou posed for snaps with Andre Onana after Manchester United’s 3-2 win over Bodo/Glimt on Thursday. Then the dangerous ‘Predator’ went a mile further wrestling him to the ground! The Manchester United physios may have had their blood pacing a while for a moment. This comes on the foothills of Conor McGregor touting his football skills and then jokingly fighting Bukayo Saka.

‘The Notorious’ meeting with Arsenal stars Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice went quite viral, but soon in all the wrong ways. With the viral Conor McGregor disregarding instructions Arsenal FC even had to update its protocols around the matter. But now, the Cameroonian gives a whole other jumpscare with the Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana!

The 6ft 4inches ex-UFC heavyweight and current PFL star loaded his Red Devils Cameroonian compatriot in full mount. Then, Francis Ngannou pretended to start his ground-and-pound assault! A video of the pair laughing and joking about the incident has emerged on social media. Ngannou is on a recent roll and the winner of the Super Fight title (read fight highlights) at the PFL ‘Battle of the Giants’ pay-per-view.

By all means and purposes, this incident was a much friendlier one than Conor McGregor – Bukayo Saka in October. Following the Gunners’ 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain, the Irishman and his super superimposition was different.

Of course – McGregor is avoided for a whole different reason these days. Not that the ‘booger sugar’ repertoire was strong, to begin with, even before his Emirates pitch stint. Ngannou though, went viral.

Man Utd and fight fans react to Francis Ngannou vs. Andre Onana

When Conor McGregor did it, there was an Arsenal FC inquiry about the athlete disregarding stuff. However, a frantic ‘Franny’ attack is a big enough issue to cause a jumpscare for any sporting fan. Ngannou has always been infamous as a heavy-handed scary KO artist in and out of MMA circles. He once held the best-punching stats on the PowerKube punching machine before Alex Pereira.

So, to see Andre Onana tackled to the floor by an MMA giant is a heart-wrenching few seconds! After the Red Devils won 3-2 in the Europa League, Francis Ngannou also went viral dapping up with Derek Chisora. Chisora even pushed for an all-African bout with the PFL star for his now 50th boxing outing. However, the interaction with Onana takes the cake. Here are a few top reactions to it:

Ngannou also maintains a close inkling to Al Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo and this side of the sporting community. With Al Nassr posting a 4-3 win at Al-Awwal Park over Qatari champions, CR7 even gave special passes to the Cameroonian and his family to visit. Now, his accord with another member on this side of the fence is just as much viral.

All and sundry have lauded the matter. Some have even poked fun at pennies to change treatment at UFC and the fact that he is living better now and enjoying himself. All in all, this will remain a hot snippet for a while.
