In a thrilling encounter between Bayern Munich and Manchester United that ended 4-3 in favor of the German side, goalkeeper Andre Onana shouldered much of the blame for the loss. Onana candidly admitted, “I lost because of me. I will learn from this mistake. Manchester United understands that my openings are not pretty yet. I also admit that I still need to improve a lot. Today, I was the one who pulled the team down.”

Former United legend Rio Ferdinand, while acknowledging Onana’s ball-playing abilities, emphasized the importance of goalkeeping skills, saying, “He (Onana) plays the ball very well. But since he is a goalkeeper, he needs to show some goal-catching skills as well. That’s why he was called by Man United.”

It’s because the goals you give are pretty easy. It’s pretty disappointing to lose at Bayern Stadium after scoring 3 goals.”
