Manchester United fans all said the same thing as they watched Andre Onana deliver a classy delivery in the Champions League final.
Onana's Inter Milan succumbed to Manchester City, who beat Istanbul 1-0 thanks to Rodri's second-half goal.
But the Inter goalkeeper has left an impression online with United fans as they enthusiastically talk about his distribution, comparing him to David de Gea.
The 27-year-old, who played under Erik ten Hag at Ajax, has shown his passing ability and vision when organizing attacks from goal.

A set of his cast members have impressed United supporters as they hope to secure his services ahead of the new season. He is Ten Hag's former payroll manager. This is the football that Ten Hag is used to.
Look how the Man City players approached him carefully because they knew his possession, but it was the same players who approached our goalkeeper aggressively.
Manchester United deserve it, I beg
One Twitter user wrote:
"The Man City players pressed him with total respect because they knew once he got the ball he couldn't reach it. He was very solid."
A second tweet:
“I love De Gea, but watching Onana in that final really moved me. We played with 10 men. They play with 11."
The third added:
"What I admire about him is his confidence on and off the ball. He controls his area very well and distributes the ball both long and short."
The fourth said:
"You can't rely on a goalkeeper like Onana. He's excellent with his passing selection and accuracy. See how he opens the attack.
Another commented:
"He was the best player on the pitch yesterday."
Onana spent six seasons in the Netherlands before moving to Inter last summer. It looks like Man United fans on social media want the Cameroonian at Old Trafford, with Ten Hag wanting to replace De Gea this summer.
