Onana joined United in the summer as the replacement for veteran stopper David de Gea.
The former Inter Milan ace has already shown what he is about during pre-season with his commanding presence among the defenders.
And Reddy has been impressed by him as she praised him on air from Old Trafford before mistakingly using the X-rated phrase.
She said: “He 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.”
Presented Vicky Gommersall then interrupted to say sorry on behalf of the broadcaster.
She said: “Just going to apologise to anyone if they were offended by the use of your language there.”
