Man Utd goalkeeper Andre Onana has had a difficult start to life at Old Trafford and he is starting to live in the shadow of David de Gea.
Whichever way he turns, Andre Onana can't escape comparisons with Manchester United predecessor David de Gea at the minute. Either Onana's shaky start to his Old Trafford career mimics the Spaniard's own uncertain beginnings, or his failures expose the folly of replacing the four-time player of the year in the summer.
The mistakes haven't just crept into his game, but raced into it. Moments where he looked unconvincing, such as the late drama against Wolves on the opening weekend when he got away with clattering Sasa Kalajdzic in the penalty area, or his retreat and failure to stop Taiwo Awoniyi's shot against Nottingham Forest, have now given way to glaring errors.
But Onana has played just 11 games for United and Ten Hag certainly has no doubts about his goalkeeper. Speaking after that Galatasaray mistake, before he then blundered against Brentford, he backed him to become one of the best goalkeepers in the world. De Gea was a callow, lightweight 19-year-old when he arrived in Manchester. His physical attributes were primarily holding him back, but at 27 Onana doesn't have the same development to come. He should be at his peak now.
“Obviously he’s had a really poor start. We talk about positions at any big club the goalkeeper at Manchester United has to have a huge personality to deal with mistakes," said Keane.
