WATCH: a Manchester United great interrupt Andre Onana’s live TV interview and leave the keeper looking bashful.

HUMBLE A Manchester United icon interrupted Andre Onana’s live TV interview.

Following his 97th-minute penalty save against Copenhagen, the Red Devils goalie had plenty of media work to do.

With the final move of the Champions League match, the £47 million Cameroonian star, 27, dove the perfect way to deny Henrik Larsson’s son Jordan.

Following Harry Maguire’s header, Erik ten Hag’s side hung on for a crucial 1-0 win, their first point of the group stage.

And, at his press conference in the mixed zone next to the Old Trafford tunnel, Onana extolled Maguire while downplaying his own heroics.

However, as he was speaking, a loud voice and a strong hand slapped Onana on the shoulder from behind him.

Then, in front of the camera, Rio Ferdinand congratulated the goalkeeper.

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” said the ex-defender, who was commentating on the game for TNT Sports.

He then shook Onana’s hand and said, “Take care, good luck.”

A blushing Onana, who has a growing bromance with Tyson Fury, couldn’t help but smile at the sweet encounter and answer, “Thank you.”

Fans quipped during his interview that he had taken a page from Roy Keane’s book with his excellent response.

“I was just doing my job, being calm, not under pressure, and making myself big, waiting as long as possible, and making the save,” Onana said of his spectacular save.

“We needed to win this game.” We can’t leave after the first three games because we’re too large to leave so soon. We must struggle and work tirelessly.

“I am happy for the goal from Harry; he was the hero tonight, and I am very happy for him.”

Fans applauded Alejandro Garnacho for scuffing up the penalty spot ahead of Larsson’s attempt.

Others, however, believe the penalty should have been retaken since a reverse angle appeared to suggest Onana had stepped off his line before the kick.
