I am not a bad goalkeeper — Andre Onana defends recent performances
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has defended himself after being criticised for recent performances.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper showcased his shot-stopping prowess with a string of remarkable saves, denying Liverpool's relentless attacking force time and time again.
With a total of eight stunning saves to his name, Onana not only secured a crucial clean sheet but also etched his name alongside David de Gea in the record books.
Onana equals De Gea record
The standout statistic from Onana's heroic performance is his tally of eight saves against Liverpool. Each save was a testament to his reflexes, agility, and unwavering focus, keeping the opposition at bay and frustrating their attempts to breach the Manchester United goal.
In making eight saves without conceding a goal, Onana equalled a record previously held by Manchester United's legendary goalkeeper, de Gea, whom he replaced this summer.
The last time a United goalkeeper made such an impact was when De Gea produced 11 saves against Tottenham Hotspur in January 2019 in a 1-0 win for the Red Devils.
Onana coming into his own at Manchester United
After a difficult start to life at Manchester United, Onana appears to finally be fulfilling his potential as the Red Devils’ number one, and with more performances like the one against Liverpool, he could win over fans of the Red Devils who questioned his purchase.
The Cameroonian goalkeeper has helped Manchester United keep six clean sheets in the Premier League, which is one less than Arsenal and Newcastle, who have kept the most clean sheets in the league with seven.
