Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has lauded the club’s goalkeeper André Onana as the current best in the Premier League at preventing expected goals. Ten Hag’s commendation highlights Onana’s exceptional performance between the sticks, indicating that his ability to stop goals has earned him the right to be the first-choice goalkeeper for the team.
Regarding the upcoming African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in January, Ten Hag acknowledged that Onana may be called up to represent his national team, Cameroon. He stated, “When they call him, he has to go. But we are in talks.” This suggests that discussions are ongoing about the goalkeeper’s participation in the tournament, which could see him temporarily absent from club duties.
