Reddy was working the game for Sky, interviewing stars and providing pitchside updates.
Appearing on Sky Sports News from Old Trafford, Reddy said: “He [Erik ten Hag] feels that in Onana, he has signed a big personality. We’ve already seen glimpses of that.
“Him b******ing his defenders when they’ve made a mistake.
“He is calm and assured that both players will drive United to the next level.”

“The stadium erupted in relief when Varane scored, largely as Cunha was shredding through midfield for fun. A win for Manchester United despite a poor performance and much-needed encouragement for Wolves.”
Reddy, 36, was referencing the moment late in the match in which Wolves were somehow denied a penalty – despite Andre Onana taking out debutant Sasa Kalajdzic.
Asked if it should have been a spot kick by the Sky reporter after the match, the 27-year-old said of the incident: “No, totally no.
“As a keeper you make decision – sometimes you are right, sometimes you are not. I made a decision and I am responsible for everything.
“For me it was just contact between two big guys and I was calm. I knew nothing would happen there.”
When pressed on how confident he was that a penalty would not be given, he added: “Of course I was confident.”
Fans loved Reddy’s Instagram post from Old Trafford.
One called her “absolutely smoking”.
Another called her “My idol”.

Sturridge has joined the Sky punditry team for the new Premier League campaign.
And as well as his expert analysis and fresh take on the game, he also delivered the goods with his superb vocals.
Towards the end of the live show from Stamford Bridge, presenter Dave Jones joked Sturridge had got away without having to do an initiation song.
Jones asked the former England forward what song he would have chosen but as he mulled over his answer, Micah Richards suggested Usher’s Nice & Slow banger.

And instantaneously Sturridge burst into a staggering rendition of the 1997 tune.
The new pundit sang in a surprisingly soulful voice: “It’s seven o’clock on the dot, I’m in my drop top, cruising the streets.”
He even clicked along before tapping a laughing Richards and telling him: “You know the vibe.”
Keane, unsurprisingly, remained motionless throughout the cameo sing-song before Sturridge moved over and asked: “Do you like that Roy?”

The no-nonsense Irishman replied deadpan: “Very nice,” before breaking into a smile as the others burst into more laughter.
Jones admitted it took him completely by surprise and beamed: “I did not expect that. That was sensational. Wow. Roy will do his next week.”
But the viewers watching it unfold at home were left in stitches and flooded Twitter with hilarious responses.
One said: “Daniel Sturridge is going to break Roy Keane.”
Another wrote: “How long before Roy Keane murders Daniel Sturridge?
A third added: “Decent little voice on him to be fair.”
And a final user commented: “Keano is gonna quit his job bro.”
Sturridge also prompted incredible reactions from Keane when he told Trent Alexander-Arnold: “Keep it funky with ya boy.”

Following Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea, defender Trent Alexander-Arnold joined the crew for a live interview.
But insightful Sturridge – who will certainly bring a fresh angle on Sky this season – risked the wrath of no-nonsense Keane.
The ex-Chelsea and Liverpool striker told Alexander-Arnold: “Keep it funky with ya boy,” before going on to address the Reds midfield.
But as the England right-back burst into laughter, the camera stayed fixed on Keane, whose face was absolutely hilarious.

The former Manchester United captain remained motionless, staring out blankly into the distance.
Keane, 52, then blinked and looked into the ground, almost recognising he simply had to accept it before appearing to resist a smile.
But while the Irishman managed to keep his reaction under wraps, fans on social media let rip with some phenomenal responses to match Keane’s own reaction.
One said: “Sturridge is gonna make Roy quit – man said keep it funky.”

Another wrote: “Roy’s face when Studgey said ‘keep it funky wit your boy’ LOOOOOOL.”
A third added: “Sturridge saying ‘keep it funky with me boy’ in front of Roy Keane is so wild.”
A fourth typed: “Keano looks like he’s gonna swing at Sturridge.”
A fifth commented: “Roy questioning everything in life that led him to this moment.”
And a final user joked: “Won’t be long till Keane resigns from his position.”
Sturridge later tried to win Keane back over by suggesting he was an “absolute terror of a midfielder” and would be worth £150million if he was playing football in the current era.
Keane, who was once the record British transfer when he joined United for £3.75m in 1993, insisted he should be valued higher than the £100m-plus-rated midfielders such as Declan Rice, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo.
But Sturridge undid his hard work with his new colleague by impersonating Keane’s sensational “big baby” rant then patting him on the shoulder – prompting Keane to look at presenter Dave Jones and roll his eyes.
And to top it all off, Sturridge burst into singing Usher’s song Nice & Slow with Keane again left utterly bemused.
Although this time he reluctantly admitted it was “very nice” and allowed a smile.

The hilarious moment comes after Man Utd released a clip earlier this week announcing their new kit – with Keane front and centre.
In the video, he can be seen looking at a tray of prawn sandwiches.
This is in reference to his rant after a Champions League fixture against Dynamo Kyiv in 2000 in which he suggested the club’s home fans were not as passionate as the away support.
