Andre Onana, Manchester United’s goalkeeper, attended the newest boxing event in Riyadh, presented by Saudi Arabia.
Onana was in the Middle East for Saturday night’s celebration, only a week after helping United win the FA Cup against Manchester City 2-1 at Wembley Stadium.
The Cameroon international was seen conversing with Turki Al-Sheikh, chairman of the General Entertainment Authority and the driving force behind Saudi Arabia’s sports boom, and presenting him with a United shirt bearing his name on the back.

Onana chatted with Anthony Joshua, who witnessed the highlight fights between Deontay Wilder and Zhilei Zhang, and Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic. Zhang and Dubois emerged winners, and Joshua will now fight the latter at Wembley in September.

The goalie won the FA Cup at the end of his debut season as a United player.
Onana, who joined United from Inter Milan for £47.2 million last summer, was part of Erik ten Hag’s squad that had a successful season despite facing challenges. The 28-year-old is scheduled to spend time with his family in Cameroon before returning to Manchester for preseason training.
United will play Rosenborg in Norway and Glasgow Rangers at Murrayfield before heading on a US trip that includes matches against Arsenal in Los Angeles, Real Betis in San Diego, and Liverpool in South Carolina. United will face City again in the Community Shield on August 10.
