Applying vaseline immediately improves the grip of the gloves, as stated by Keeper Balm.

Additionally, another user commented, “Is there a benefit to using Vaseline on goalie gloves? Because why did Onana bring out a whole tub?”.

During the game, Liverpool took the lead with a goal from Luis Diaz, but Bruno Fernandes capitalized on an error to equalize for Manchester United. Kobbie Mainoo then put the hosts ahead, only for Mohamed Salah to level the score for Liverpool with a penalty in the 84th minute.

Onana has appeared in all 31 of Manchester United’s Premier League matches this season, keeping eight clean sheets while conceding 46 goals.
