Andre Onana’s incredible save in Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Ipswich Town on Sunday afternoon has drawn widespread praise, with Jamie Redknapp declaring it the “save of the season.”

The Ruben Amorim era began with an exciting 2-1 victory, as Marcus Rashford opened the scoring early, converting a cross from Amad Diallo. However, despite dominating the early minutes, Manchester United found themselves under pressure, and Ipswich managed to equalize just before the break through Omari Hutchinson’s deflected strike.
Before Ipswich could capitalize on their momentum, Onana pulled off a stunning save, denying Liam Delap’s powerful shot that seemed destined for the net. The ball appeared to be on course to beat Onana, but he somehow managed to palm it away, preserving Manchester United’s lead.
Ex-Premier League goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer called it an “absolute world-class save,” noting that Onana’s quick reflexes prevented what would have been a certain goal for Delap.
Redknapp, on Sky Sports, joined in the praise, describing it as “unbelievable” and asserting, “That’s the save of the season.” The pundit admired Onana’s strength and agility, with some fans agreeing, while others felt his assessment was overblown.
Despite this, Onana’s performance this season has been a bright spot for Manchester United, who have struggled under former manager Erik ten Hag, leading to his dismissal. While Onana has faced criticism in the past, his recent form has earned him accolades, even as United continues to battle inconsistent results.
