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.”
United’s head coach, Erik Ten Hag, expressed his disappointment, urging his players to engage in self-reflection. He stated, “Players should look at themselves in the mirror. It’s because the goals you give are pretty easy. It’s pretty disappointing to lose at Bayern Stadium after scoring 3 goals.”
The match was a rollercoaster ride, highlighting areas where Manchester United can improve defensively as they continue their journey in competitive football.
