Andre Onana<\/a> channelled his inner Xavi<\/a> by providing a pinpoint assist for Trabzonspor in his second match after joining the Turkish club on loan.<\/p>\n

The goalkeeper was given free roam of his defensive third and took the time to pick out a lethal long-range ball behind the defence to Paul Onoachu, who finished his dinner delightfully.<\/p>\n

Onoachu, who joined Trabzonspor permanently from Southampton<\/a> this summer, nicked the ball past the goalkeeper before dinking his shot over two defenders.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim<\/a> may have watched with a hint of bewilderment and wondered why Onana, 29, never provided an assist for the Red Devils before being cast out on loan.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Onana joined United for \u00a347.2million from Inter Milan<\/a> two years ago but fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford behind Altay Bayindir and unused new boy Senne Lammens.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And he has already set about making an impression – with positive and negative inflections – since landing in the picturesque Trabzon Province.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The goalkeeper has had a mixed start to life on loan in Turkey after losing his place at Manchester United<\/p>\n

\"Ruben <\/p>\n

Ruben Amorim may be wondering why Onana, 29, never provided an assist for his side<\/p>\n

Onana earned man of the match for his debut in a 1-0 defeat by Fenerbahce after making eight saves but the viral moment from that game was another error.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Cameroonian did well to get down to a snap shot but spilled the ball across the face of goal, which led to Fenerbahce scoring.<\/p>\n

At half-time, Onana gave a rousing speech which seemed to get his team-mates riled up for the second half, though ultimately they didn’t find an equaliser.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘We have to win this match for this man,’ he shouted, gesturing to team-mate Okay Yokuslu, who had been sent off. ‘We have to win this match for this man.<\/p>\n

‘We can do this if we stay together. I know it’s hard. We have to do this.’<\/p>\n

They didn’t get back in the game in the end, but the speech was testament to Onana’s eagerness to be a leader at his new club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In his second match, the 1-1 draw with Gaziantep, he only had to make one save but the assist stands out.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

His loan is set to last a season but does not include an option or obligation to buy.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
