Manchester United supporters have been able to catch their new recruit Andre Onana in action during the recent friendlies. He is one of the two first-team quality players signed by the club during this summer transfer window till now. After Mason Mount’s arrival from fellow Premier League club Chelsea, Onana joined the Red Devils from Inter Milan. The best part about Onana is his ability to play out from the back, something not many are capable of.
He also normally stays far away from the goalpost, which would come as a surprise for many who are not used to seeing the goalkeeper that far out of his position. However, Andre Onana’s ability to quickly read the game and move back into position on time helps him thwart any opposition threat. Onana was part of the Manchester United side that lost 3-2 to Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas. After the match, he spoke about what he expects from his teammates.
‘’I demand a lot of my team-mates because also they demand a lot, they trust in me. They play a lot of balls back to me, so I have to give them confidence and I want my players to give them to me to give me confidence. I demand [from] them a lot and I will demand from them a lot because they are great players. Now, for me, it’s a big honour to play with these defenders. ’With [Lisandro] Martinez, Harry [Maguire] they are doing great things. They are important players for the club. I’m very happy to be part of this team and playing with them is something great,” he told MUTV.
Onana can also be seen regularly passing on instructions to his defenders, especially to Harry Maguire in the match. “I try to talk to them a lot because I know he’s a good player, he is one of the captains of the team. That’s big and he is good with the ball, so I would demand [from] him a lot and he’s a good, great guy. I have a good relationship with him. I have to be and he has to be ready and I spoke with him because when I’m in the goal, I demand to everyone a lot,” he explained.
The goalkeeper also feels that the team should not be afraid to make mistakes on the pitch. “I will start with myself because I think we are in this together and mistakes will come. We don’t have to be afraid to make mistakes because this is part of life and we learn from the mistakes. So we have to be very critical with ourselves. And if we want to win prizes, we have to demand a lot. And for me, it’s a big honour to be here and I’m very happy to work with these guys, Harry is a top guy and a fantastic player. We will move on,” he added.
