André Onana’s display against Manchester City proved Pep Guardiola was right about him

 

‘Manchester United don’t deserve André Onana! He can replace Ederson in that Man City team’ – Fans

 

After Manchester United’s 3-1 defeat to local rivals City on Sunday, a majority of the team’s fans have rallied behind goalkeeper André Onana.

 

 

Even though the Red Devils initially took the lead with Marcus Rashford’s eighth-minute goal, they stumbled as Phil Foden scored twice and Erling Haaland sealed the deal with a third in stoppage time.

 

Despite the team conceding three goals, a significant portion of United’s fans have thrown their support behind Onana.

 

GOAL presents some of these unfiltered opinions from social media as some African fans backed the Cameroon international.

Appreciate Onana!

Wow what an amazing performance from Andre Onana. He always turns up in big games. Majority will not appreciate him. United woefully both half, they played absolutely rubbish. – MASINACHIMYKIEL

 

 

Sweeper keeper duties

I think André Onana was superb today, especially in the first half. Manchester United should start having a higher block (admittedly not against Man City but in other games) and let Onana do what he does best, rush out, play out from the back, do the sweeper keeper thing. – Cetin Yilmaz

Shoutout to the soldiers!

Lazy players with a scared mentality. We can’t press, we can’t possess, what do we expect? All in all, big shoutout to Raphael Varane, Casemiro and Kobbie Mainoo. I believe these players were solid. Andre Onana could have done better with the second goal but he made great saves. – Abdulkadir

Leaking goals?

David Dea Gea — 57. Onana — 60. It’s official, André Onana has surpassed De Gea’s goals conceded in all competitions last season. We’re still in March! – Usman

Have some heart!

Spare a thought for Andre Onana. He did everything humanly possible to keep us in the game and definitely didn’t deserve to concede three. I’ve criticised him so much and it’s only fair I give him his flowers. – Eternally Red

Cut him some slack

Andre Onana has only conceded three goals to Liverpool and Manchester City so far this season. David De Gea conceded 14 goals to both last season alone excluding the 6-3 defeat. MY KEEPER! – TameezFT
