Andre Onana warns Manchester United supporters to brace themselves for ‘a high level of uncertainty’ in the upcoming Premier League campaign.
In an exclusive interview, Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has expressed his determination to continue his bold style of play in the upcoming season. Despite facing criticism for his high-profile errors during his debut campaign at Old Trafford, the Cameroon international remains committed to pushing the boundaries as a ball-playing goalkeeper.
Onana confidently stated, “That’s me. And I think it’s what you’re gonna see this season, because I will take a lot of risks. I can tell you in advance already! Be prepared because it’s gonna be this season, trust me! I will enjoy it even more when this season starts.”
The 28-year-old emphasized the importance of taking risks and recognizing various situations on the pitch. He believes that the best team in the world takes risks and aims to build from the back. Onana expressed his eagerness to take responsibility and make the best decisions for the team.
However, Onana faced significant criticism for his performances in the Champions League, particularly in matches against Galatasaray and Bayern Munich. These costly mistakes led to Manchester United’s early exit from the competition. Despite the backlash, Onana has always been willing to take responsibility for his errors.
Reflecting on a 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich, Onana admitted, “It’s difficult to lose this way because in the beginning we started very good. After my mistake, we lost control of the game. It’s a difficult situation for us, for me especially because I’m the one who let the team down. Because of me, we didn’t win, but we just have to move on. This is the life of the goalkeeper.”
Nevertheless, Onana remains confident in his abilities and sees his time at Manchester United as a valuable learning experience. He acknowledges that criticism is a part of the job, especially when playing for a prestigious club like Manchester United. Onana appreciates the love and support he receives from fans and believes that criticism can be beneficial in helping him improve.
As the new season approaches, Onana is determined to continue his gung-ho approach and prove himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world. With his unwavering confidence and willingness to take risks, Onana aims to make a significant impact for Manchester United in the upcoming campaign.
