Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has finally spoken on his goalkeeping errors in Manchester United, LCSoccerHub Reports.
Andre Onana was among the top-rated goalkeepers in Europe before his move to Manchester United.

He reached UEFA Champions League final with Inter in his first season with the club. With former Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea falling out of favor under Erik ten Hag, Onana was a prime target to replace the Spaniard.
Erik ten Hag led the move for Onana, bringing the Cameroonian shotstopper to Old Trafford for £41.5m on a five-year contract.
It was thought the 27-year-old will replicate his goalkeeping heroics at San Siro with Inter Milan but the reverse has been case.
In 28 games for Manchester United, Onana has managed just 8 cleansheets. He conceded 15 goals in Champions League group stages, leading to the premature exit of Manchester United from the competition.
Onana’s glaring blunders in-between the sticks for Manchester United have sent tongues wagging with Man United fans and club legends constantly tearing into the former Ajax man for his frequent mistakes on goal.

However, it appears the Cameroonian shotstopper is unbothered with the criticisms. Speaking wth Sky Sport Italia, Onana defended himself, insisting everyone makes mistake.
He said;
“Mistakes are part of learning,” he started.
“We know that people expect a lot from me and that’s why they criticise me so much. But for me it’s not a problem, I’m used to it. The same thing also happened at Inter: at the beginning they criticised me, but look how it ended,”
With the 2023 AFCON at the corner, Andre Onana is expected to join Cameroon squad for the tournament. Manchester United’s last summer signing from Fenerbahce Altay Bayindir is expected to step in to replace Onana.
Sources close to Manchester United have revealed Erik ten Hag is ready to continue with Altay Bayindir as his first choice goalkeeper, taking Onana’s place, should the Turkish shotstopper outperform Onana on his shift.
