Nemanja Matic labelled him “one of the worst goalkeepers in United’s history” as part of the raging war of words.
Onana – who was dropped for the Premier League defeat at Newcastle on Sunday – then made two blunders in the 2-2 draw in the first leg last week in France.
But when Manuel Ugarte gave the Red Devils a tenth-minute lead against the Ligue 1 outfit at Old Trafford tonight, the Cameroonian could not resist a cheeky reaction.
The goalkeeper ran over in front of the Lyon fans who booed him last week and performed a jumping, dancing jig, nodding his head in delight as he stared at the away end.
But United fans watching the antics at home were divided whether it was brilliant housery – or a bit too risky with 80 minutes to play and plenty of time for the gloating to come back and bite him.
One said: “Onana gave it large to Lyon fans after the goal.”
Another wrote: “No idea why he has to put himself under pressure so much.”
A third added: “Onana’s s***housery levels are elite love to see it.”

A fourth asked: “Who else is hoping for this to be a timeless image?”
A fifth typed: “An absolute embarrassment.”
A sixth replied: “Ultimate cringe moment.”
A seventh commented: “This guy is genuinely insane.”
An eighth responded: “Looking for trouble.”
A ninth posted: “He just couldn’t contain himself.”
And a final user quipped: “This is going to be hilarious when Matic scores.”
Ugarte tucked home from close range to give United the lead in the tie.
Diogo Dalot then made it 2-0 on the night – 4-2 on aggregate – with a fine finish low into the bottom corner.
