Manchester United fans have clipped the ears of Diogo Dalot for his role in Lens’ half-pitch lob over Andre Onana on his Old Trafford debut.
Lens attacker Florian Sotoca took advantage of Onana’s aggressive positioning after receiving the ball following Dalot’s poor pass in midfield.
From the centre-circle, the striker immediately chipped the ball over the United goalkeeper and into the net on 35 minutes. Onana was brought in to utilise his ball skills and Erik ten Hag consequently asks him to play high up the field.
It’s something that was seen on debut against Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund during the tour of the US. Onana was also lobbed against Madrid when Jude Bellingham scooped an effort into his net after Madrid broke United’s high defensive line.
