After making mistakes against Bayern Munich, Galatasaray, and Brentford in a close 2-1 victory, André Onana had a rough start at Old Trafford and has come under heavy criticism.
When the 27-year-old came from Inter in a roughly £50 million deal, he was expected to replace David de Gea as Manchester United’s long-term goalkeeper. But he hasn’t shown himself to be the dependable goalie his supporters had hoped.
Since Inter was limited for cash and had only signed Onana on a free transfer from Ajax a year earlier, the move to United was considered as advantageous for the cash-poor Inter. Inter was able to reinvest the proceeds from his sale in players like Yann Sommer and Benjamin Pavard of Bayern Munich.
Given Onana’s difficulties, Inter CEO Marotta raised the prospect of a reunion in San Siro, praising the success of their prior chapter involving the player.
Early in the season, the goalkeeper’s patchy play has been a major talking point and has contributed to Manchester United’s generally dismal play.
They have now dropped four games in their Premier League season, with the exception of a close victory over Brentford and a pointless performance in their Champions League encounters.
Peter Schmeichel, the legendary goalie for Manchester United, recently published his chats with Onana, offering guidance on how to recover from mistakes and stay focused in the intensely competitive Manchester United atmosphere.
Schmeichel underlined that in order to prevent a detrimental effect on the team’s trust and performance, it is crucial to compartmentalize mistakes and maintain mental toughness.
Concerns and attention have been generated by Onana’s early troubles at Manchester United, which has sparked talks of a possible return to Inter.
As the team’s new starting goalkeeper, the goalie must overcome the task of finding his form and confidence again to live up to the expectations set for him.
