Manchester United’s manager, Erik ten Hag, has issued a warning to Andre Onana, who has had a challenging beginning to his career with the Red Devils. Onana, who was signed for £47.2 million from Inter Milan, has struggled, conceding 19 goals in 11 games across all competitions.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper has also made high-profile mistakes, particularly in the Champions League, where Manchester United is currently without points in Group A due to Onana’s errors.
Ten Hag acknowledged that an integration period is needed when joining the Premier League but emphasized that Onana must step up. He cited the examples of legendary United keepers Peter Schmeichel and David de Gea, who didn’t have perfect starts at the club but went on to have illustrious careers.
Schmeichel, in particular, has spoken to Onana, offering advice on dealing with the pressure of playing for Manchester United and the need to bounce back from mistakes promptly.
Onana’s performance in the Premier League is under scrutiny, and he has been encouraged to put errors behind him and focus on the next opportunity to prevent further setbacks.
The Manchester United team will be hoping that Onana can overcome this challenging period and regain their trust in him as they strive for success in various competitions.
