After making a mistake against Bayern Munich, ANDRE ONANA apologetically begged his Manchester United teammates to forgive him.
This week, United’s ten goals allowed in five Premier League games led to criticism of the £47 million purchase from Inter Milan.
And tonight’s 4-3 loss at the Allianz Arena was highlighted by Onana’s failure to stop Leroy Sane in a routine save attempt.
From outside the box, the former Manchester City player fired a soft effort, but Onana mishandled it and the ball spooned off his hand and into the goal.
Onana confessed it was “my worst game” in a post-game interview with TNT Sports, but he applauded his teammates for their efforts in almost clawing a result from the game through three second-half goals
Onana said: “It’s difficult to lose this way because, in the beginning, we started very good.
We lost control of the game after my error.
“It’s a challenging scenario for us, and especially for me because I let the team down. Due to me, we didn’t win today.
When asked if he felt the need to impress United supporters, Onana responded, “Of course, I have a lot to prove since to be honest, my start has not been great.
“Today was one of my worst games, and it’s hard because we have big ambitions and it was a big chance for us to recover,” the player said.
Onana said: “It’s difficult to lose this way because, in the beginning, we started very good.
It’s difficult, but we must stick together, and the only thing we can do is learn from our mistakes.
Fans complimented Onana for admitting his mistake and appearing in front of the media after asking to speak to them during the match, despite the mishap.
Fair play to Onana for that interview, one admirer commented.
Another person wrote, “Onana showing more character and balls than most of this squad.”
“Onana asked for a job interview. De Gea would already be on his way home,” said a third.
Fourteenth: “He has owned to his mistakes wow.”
“Owning up to it nice to see,” said another.
A fifth person said: “What a guy.”
Onana said: “It’s difficult to lose this way because, in the beginning, we started very good.Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, criticized his team’s defensive play and claimed that the team’s inconsistent play was hurting its overall performance.The Dutchman expressed his disappointment to TNT Sports. Bayern requires that you collect at least a point if you score three goals there.“Right now, a lot of things are working against us. However, we must create our own luck.Despite playing great teams in the last three games, we concede goals when we don’t follow our rules and values.He continued, “It’s fantastic he’s doing that [doing an interview], but it’s about the team. Onana has started his Man Utd career.errors are being made, however, you must bounce back as a team.”We have to believe we can always bounce back…
