Andre Onana is proving the wisdom behind Manchester United’s pursuit and steadfast support. Despite his early-season challenges. Securing acknowledgment for a goalkeeper is already a challenging task. Made even more so in a match where a 19-year-old wonderkid scores an otherworldly overhead kick.
Singling out Andre Onana for commendation is appropriate. Given yet another assured performance as Manchester United secured a 3-0 victory over Everton at Goodison Park. Initial concerns arose over Onana’s availability following a knock on international duty with Cameroon. But fortunately, he was able to feature and deliver a confident display.
Andre Onana has undergone a significant transformation since his pivotal penalty save at home against Copenhagen in October. Adding to his impressive streak, he secured another clean sheet in this match, solidifying his position as the Premier League leader in this category.
How good was Andre Onana in the match?
Onana was significantly good in the match, making a total of six saves while contending with an Expected Goals figure of 1.31. Additionally, he showcased his distribution skills by completing 66 percent of his passes. One notable save included a point-blank stop from a Dominic Calvert-Lewin header, which he handled with ease.
The defensive unit of Manchester United seems to have developed confidence in Onana. The team defended cohesively, successfully shutting out Everton, who, in turn, struggled with some inefficient finishing. Onana is increasingly proving to be an asset for the club, dispelling any concerns of him being a liability. This positive development bodes well for the future, especially considering the significant investment of £43 million, potentially rising to £47 million, made by United in securing his services during the summer.
Andre Onana has faced severe criticism from certain sections of the press since joining Manchester United. With many seemingly anticipating his failure. In the initial stages, he encountered difficulties, committing errors in the team’s first two Champions League matches. From which the side is still working to recover.
The level of criticism directed at Onana has yet to be equaled by the praise he deserves for successfully reversing his form. On a day when the attacking players grabbed the headlines, it’s somewhat what people expect, considering the nature of being a goalkeeper. Nevertheless, let’s take a moment to commend his efforts.
