Man Utd player going seriously under the radar and leaving Ten Hag’s critics red-faced

Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is seeking dependability from his squad, and one hero in particular is beginning to demonstrate his value.

A remarkable statistic concerning former Inter Milan star Andre Onana has emerged, leaving Erik ten Hag’s detractors in disbelief. This information pertains to the goalkeeper for Manchester United. Ten Hag faced criticism for parting ways with Red Devils icon David de Gea in the summer to acquire Onana, prior to the Cameroonian international committing a series of prominent errors in his initial seasons at Old Trafford. However, the advent of the player may now be paying off.

United paid an enormous £47.2 million to acquire Onana from Inter mere weeks after releasing De Gea at no cost at the conclusion of his contract. Ten goals were conceded by the former Ajax goalkeeper in his initial five Premier League appearances, and seven goals were converted into backlogs during his initial two Champions League encounters while wearing the Manchester United jersey.

Even more so, he accepted responsibility for his team’s 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in September, a result of which was his inability to block Leroy Sane’s simple effort for the opener. “Losing in this manner is difficult because I believe we got off to a great start in the beginning,” he told TNT Sports. We lost control of the game as a result of my error.

“The situation is difficult, particularly for me, as it is my own fault that the team has been let down. However, the team was quite formidable; I believe my performance contributed to their loss in this match. Simply put, we must move on. “Such is the life of a goalkeeper; I bear responsibility for our loss today.”

Onana has contributed to his team’s first Champions League victory of the season in October against Copenhagen by saving a stoppage-time penalty shot by Jordan Larsson. His form has improved in recent weeks.

Subsequently, at the end of last month, United suffered a 3-0 loss to Manchester City. The goalkeeper then recorded a series of excellent saves before maintaining his fourth clean sheet of the season on Saturday against Luton.

As of his most recent match, Onana has a save percentage of 73.8 percent in the Premier League. Alisson of Liverpool could only improve upon those figures, having stopped 78.7% of the attempts he encountered prior to Sunday’s match between the Reds and Brentford. In addition, the data indicates that Onana is beginning to establish herself as a force among the posts.

By virtue of being at ease with the ball at his feet and able to participate in the action, Onana has added an additional dimension to Ten Hag’s squad. Furthermore, the Dutchman’s choice to substitute Onana for De Gea could potentially be justified.
