The game had pre-arranged penalty shoot-outs irrespective of the results. Erik ten Hag's side won this round, with Jadon Sancho scoring the decisive spot-kick.

Much attention was placed on goalkeeper Andre Onana, who came up with rather bizarre tactics in a bid to distract the penalty takers.

His antics worked against Kai Havertz, as he saved the German effort. However, he failed to repeat the trick when Gabriel Magalhaes surged forward.

Andre Onana told to shut up

The Cameroonian shot-stopper told the Brazilian where he wanted him to place his effort. Magalhaes went ahead and did just that, but Onana dived in the opposite direction. The Arsenal centre-back was then spotted asking Onana to shut up.

Fans online quickly jumped on the incident

@Movielohd said,

"He sent brother back to Cameroon,"

@AFC_Jerry said,

"How will I tell my kids Onana showed Gabriel where to shoot and still went the wrong way?"

While Eduardo Hagn said,

"Onana is a clown. Gabriel smashes it top bins right where he told him to shoot."

Manchester United will next play Real Betis before facing their eternal rivals Liverpool in Columbia to wrap up their USA tour.
