In a 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas, new Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana demonstrated that he will offer more than just ball-playing skills to Erik ten Hag's squad.
The 27-year-old Cameroonian goalkeeper, who was substituted at halftime, is known for verbally abusing teammates.
And after Christian Eriksen's sloppy pass gave Dortmund a chance, he launched into a furious tirade at Harry Maguire.
Sebastian Haller was denied by Onana, who then sprinted from his goal to reprimand Maguire.

The former United captain maintained his composure, which is more than could be said for Brandon Williams, a fellow defender who got into an altercation with Tom Heaton, the goalkeeper, as United's three-match tour of the United States came to an end in loss in front of 50,857 spectators at the Allegiant Stadium.
Williams took issue with Heaton blaming him for Dortmund's second goal, which came just a minute later after Victor Lindelof threw the ball away, after Donyell Malen had cancelled out Diogo Dalot's brilliant opening effort.

It was a sobering evening for 18-year-old Omari Forson. Given his fourth pre-season appearance, the Londoner had impressed until he got involved in a head-to-head confrontation with Karim Adeyemi.
Ten Hag was concerned enough about the situation to venture on to the pitch. Bruno Fernandes complained to the fourth official as Dortmund continued to niggle away at the young midfielder, whose concentration had evidently been affected.
Amad Diallo missed the game with a knee injury that still requires an assessment and the Ivory Coast winger was noticeably limping as he left the stadium.
The ankle injury Kobbie Mainoo, an 18-year-old midfielder, suffered in Wednesday's 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in Houston is expected to keep him out for a while.
After starting their pre-season campaign with three successive victories, United have now lost two games in a row.
Before they face Wolves at Old Trafford on August 14 in the Premier League opener, they still have two games still to play: Lens at Old Trafford on Saturday and Athletic Bilbao in Dublin on Sunday.
Rasmus Hojlund, a teammate of Eriksen's from Denmark, is expected to be acquired by United at that time from Serie A club Atalanta in a transaction that might ultimately cost £72 million.
“We don’t get enough media attention in Denmark – that’s why people outside Denmark don’t know enough (about Hojlund),” said former Tottenham and Inter Milan midfielder Eriksen.
“He’s a nice guy and a good player. He’s developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team. Now he’s a strong number nine.
“I haven’t seen that many games for Atalanta, but I know how they play and he fitted in well there.
“I spoke to him when we were with the national team last time. Of course, I’ve said a lot of good stuff and also said some bad stuff.”
