Manchester United legend Dwight Yorke has not held back in his criticism of Andre Onana after the goalkeeper’s Champions League nightmare last night.
The former striker said David de Gea’s critics will be wanting him back at the club now, saying Onana has already been ‘found out’.
And he says United would have been better off keeping De Gea and letting Onana move to Chelsea in the summer.
“I’ve said before that Man United need to be careful what they wish for with losing David de Gea,” Yorke told OLBG. “I hope this doesn’t come back to haunt Man United.
“In my opinion, Onana is not as good as De Gea. Onana tries to be an outfield player rather than a goalkeeper sometimes and the people who have criticised De Gea and wanted him to leave will probably be the ones who will be calling him to come back.
“Man United have brought in a keeper who wants to start the attacks and is more aggressive in trying to dominate teams with possession. We know the Premier League has a higher intensity, balls will be coming into the box more regularly than in the Italian league where the players play at a slower pace.
“People have asked me why have I been so critical of Onana, I’m an individual who sees it as it is, it doesn’t matter to me who or what you are. I will give Onana the benefit of the doubt, but the Premier League is different, you will get found out by playing in a high-profile team at a high-profile position.
“If Onana is not at the top of his game, he will get found out again.
“We should’ve let Andre Onana go to Chelsea and Man United should’ve kept David de Gea and promoted Dean Henderson instead.”
