Erik Ten Hag is having a complex season. Although they are slowly recovering their level in the Premier League, his return to the Champions League has been a headache. The club has made 4 points and has conceded a total of 14 goals against. Despite the irregular level of the main team, a lot has had to do with the mistakes that Andre Onana has had in key games that season.

 

Erik Ten Hag, Manchester United coach, once again defended André Onana, after the mistakes he made in the Champions League against Galatasaray and said that, according to statistics, he is the second best goalkeeper in the Premier League. The Cameroonian goalkeeper left a lot to be desired in the three-way draw against Galatasaray that forces United to beat Bayern Munich on the last day and wait for a draw between Copenhagen and Galatasaray in the other group match.

Erik Ten Hag also spoke about whether the fans are happy with the way they are playing: "I think so, if you look at the goals we have scored lately in Copenhagen, against Everton, on Wednesday in Istanbul, we scored some very good collective goals. "The fact of having a good plan, of giving creativity to the players in the positions where they perform best, allowed us to score very good goals."

 

What else did Ten Hag say about Onana?

Erik ten Hag spoke about whether Andre Onana is irreplaceable: "Of course not, no one is. That's also clear. We firmly believe that he will help us win trophies." The African goalkeeper is not having the best of times and the reality is that the situation does not seem to improve despite the blind confidence of his coach. We will have to wait for the next performances of the African player, who in January could go to the African Cup for a month.
