The goalkeeper of Manchester United, Andre Onana, defended his occasional slow publication of the ball after criticism of the fans and insisted that he will continue to make decisions if he thinks it is right.
Followers of Old Trafford, in which the expectation has long been quick football and chants of “attack, attack, attack”, have never been far away over the years when the game is not played quickly enough, frustration with Onana has expressed. But the signing of £ 47 million explained itself.
“To be honest, it does not affect me because the decision I make to the team,” said the 29-year-old, who held a clean sheet on Sunday in the Manchester derby and emphasized that it is sometimes to give his teammates for a moment to recover.
“Sometimes I will make the right decision, sometimes I will make the wrong decision if I think that my players have to rest, I have to take the time when I feel like I have the game, I will do it.
“But sometimes, especially in the second half with an opponent who has a lot of control, they have more possession than we do. I have to let my boys breathe. They need me to do it. If the team has to accelerate the game, I will do it. I try to make the best decision for the team.”
After establishing himself as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe in the definition of magic sayings in Ajax and Inter, Onana has come under pressure since moving to Manchester in 2023 to unite with Erik Ten HAG. His previous time at United was a roller coaster ride with many very impressive performances, which were also interspersed with costly mistakes.
There was speculation that Ruben Amorim wanted to go in a different direction and even bizarre rumors about a shock of David de Gea return after repeating his career in Fiorentina.
