Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has expressed his support for goalkeeper André Onana, stating that the player is doing fine despite a recent error. Ten Hag emphasized the importance of team performance over individual mistakes in football.
Onana’s Performance Under Scrutiny
The Cameroonian shot-stopper, who is currently under contract with Manchester United in the Premier League, has been the subject of discussion after a mistake in a recent match. However, Ten Hag has come to his defence.
Speaking to TNT, Ten Hag remarked, “André Onana is okay. As I said, it is not about individuals.” He continued to stress the collective responsibility within the team, saying, “Of course, individual errors in football can make a difference and you take responsibility for it but it is always about the team.”
The manager’s comments suggest a focus on team cohesion and support, rather than singling out players for errors during matches. This approach is indicative of Ten Hag’s management style, which prioritizes the overall team dynamics and performance.
