INTO THE GAME, SENDING A BOLT OF ELECTRICITY AROUND THE STADIUM, AND WAKING EVERYONE UP TO THE FACT THAT MAN UNITED HAD THEIR WITS ABOUT THEM!  AND FROM THEN ON, IT WAS NON-STOP, FRENZIED ACTION, WITH MANY OPPORTUNITIES ON BOTH SIDES, BUT WITH ONANA ON TIPPETY-TOP FORM, NOT MUCH WAS GETTING PAST HIM!

AFTER FOUR YEARS THERE, HE WAS SIGNED BY MANCHESTER CITY FOR AN ESTIMATED £55,000 (WHICH, AT THE TIME, SET A NEW BRITISH RECORD!)
