Eric Ten Hag, coach of the English Manchester United team, praised the team’s goalkeeper Andre Onana after he was able to overcome his difficult start and his contribution to his team’s difficult victory over Copenhagen in the Champions League.
British news agency PA Media reported that Manchester United began the first group competitions with losses to Bayern Munich and Galatasaray, and Manchester United could not bear any further decline against the Danish champions in the match that brought them together yesterday, Tuesday, at Old Trafford.
Onana’s performance was disappointing in the two matches that Manchester United lost in the Champions League, but he helped make up for this after he played a wonderful match, which was the first to be held at the team’s stadium since the death of Sir Bobby Charlton.
Onana saved Jordan Larsson’s penalty kick in stoppage time, ensuring his team’s victory with a clean goal scored by Harry Maguire in the second half.
Ten Hag said about Onana, who moved to the team from Inter Milan in the summer: “He showed character and he knew that the level he was performing before did not demonstrate his skills. He was not giving his best and he could have shown better.”
He added: “I think the performance he gave on Saturday (against Sheffield United) was very good, and today as well.”
He added: “Also, do not forget his wonderful save on the counterattack before the end of the first half. But of course this is part of his skills. He is a great saver of penalty kicks.”
