Andre Onana has not made the best of starts to his Manchester United career and did not have a good game against Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League in midweek.
Signed from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window, Andre Onana is now the number one goalkeeper for Manchester United.
David de Gea left United in the summer of 2023, and Onana replaced him.
The 27-year-old is very good with his feet and is brilliant at passing the ball from the back.
And, he worked with United manager Erik ten Hag at Ajax.
Onana, though, has not been particularly great so far this season.
In midweek, the goalkeeper made a really bad error when he let Leroy Sane’s shot somehow wriggle under his body.
After the match, the £100,000-a-week (The Sun) Cameroonian star publicly apologised.
Micah Richards slams Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana
Former Manchester City player and BBC Sport pundit Michah Richards has criticised Onana for his public apology.
Richards said about Onana on The Rest is Football podcast: “You are a goalkeeper. Do your job.
“Not to reference Roy Keane, but just do your job and get on with it.
“It’s almost like a player has to come out and justify why they have done this or why they have done that.
“We all know he is a good goalkeeper.”
Pundit absolutely wrong about Andre Onana
We do not agree with Micah Richards’s opinion on Andre Onana at all.
What Onana did was very admirable.
Perhaps more players should do that.
Onana made a mistake, and he spoke to the media afterwards and took responsibility.
The goalkeeper could have just kept quiet and written a long message on social media instead.
That would have been the easy way out.
However, Onana decided to take the blame immediately after the match.
That shows his character.
And it also tells you that Onana is a leader.
