Manchester United’s latest signing, Andre Onana, is set to make his debut in a friendly match against Real Madrid after being unable to feature in the victory against Arsenal. Excitement among United fans is high as they look forward to seeing the new shot-stopper in action.
Onana’s arrival is expected to allow manager Erik ten Hag to tailor the team’s play style to his preferences, addressing the ball-playing weaknesses observed in David de Gea’s performances last season.
Despite being a much-anticipated addition to the squad, there have been some concerns voiced about the Cameroon goalkeeper making errors due to his playing style.
However, Onana addressed these worries confidently when speaking to the club media. He expressed his comfort in playing from the back and highlighted the importance of recognizing different game situations to support the team effectively.
“I’m very comfortable playing from the back, but it depends,” he began, when talking to club media. “I think the most important thing is to recognise the situation and that’s what I do myself, read the situation, especially what the team needs in certain moments.
As Onana prepares for his debut, he acknowledges the significance of adaptation, a crucial aspect for every footballer, especially goalkeepers who must react swiftly to various situations on the field. United fans eagerly await the match to see how Onana’s skills and approach will positively impact the team’s performance.
