Andre Onana's recent mistakes in a Europa League quarter-final match have raised concerns over his performance as Manchester United's goalkeeper. Former player Nemanja Matic criticized him as one of the worst in the club's history. Acquired for around £45 million from Inter Milan, Onana has struggled to justify his transfer, especially compared to the legendary David de Gea, who left on a free transfer. With errors on the field bringing his total to nine goals conceded from mistakes, Onana's situation reflects the pressure of continuous play without adequate rest, as he has played extensively since joining the Premier League.
Thursday night was another blot on the Andre Onana copybook after the goalkeeper's two errors meant Manchester United left Lyon on level terms in their Europa League quarter-final.
Onana cost about 45m a year after he was available for free, in another strange recruitment decision by United.
A key reason for the change was Onana's superior use of the ball with his feet but glovework is quite important.
If you play football and you play a lot of games, you can make mistakes, Ruben Amorim said of his goalkeeper.
