Man Utd star Andre Onana tackled to floor by 19st 6lb giant Francis Ngannou moments after win over Bodo/Glimt

MMA legend Francis Ngannou wrestled Andre Onana to the ground after Manchester United's win over Bodo/Glimt.

The Red Devils won 3-2 in the Europa League as Ruben Amorim made his bow at Old Trafford.

But for the first time, he wasn't the only man in the stadium, as former UFC heavyweight champion Ngannou was in the stands.

He cheered on United goalkeeper Onana and after the match was seen on the pitch talking to his compatriot.

But Ngannou swapped the ring for the court as the pair got into hilarious brawls.

It didn't take long for the 5-pound 19th man to grab Onana and slam him to the ground.

A handshake followed between the two, but Onana demanded a rematch.

He wrote: “I demand a rematch in a real ring! Let's settle this once and for all!”

However, fans won't want to see it because they're afraid their number 1 might get hurt.

One joked: “Breaking news Andre Onana is out for the next ten years with everything broken.”

Another said: “He is our only injury-free player.”

Speaking to TNT Sports after the match, Ngannou said: “It was a good match, we had fun and there was a lot of action.

“Yes, it was my first time here, it was a good experience and we got a win.

“André, he played a great match, even though he got a yellow card. He was the man of the match.”

Ngannou watched the match from the stands and sat next to boxer Derek Chisora.

He's not the only MMA star to join the Premier League players on the pitch after a European match this season, where Conor McGregor showed off his football skills before jokingly fighting Bukayo Saka.
