Manchester United defender Jonny Evans has urged teammate Andre Onana not to be “too harsh on himself”.

Onana is being questioned after a shaky start to his United career, which included a major error in defeat at Champions League opponents Bayern Munich. Onana later blamed himself for the 4-3 loss.

“It’s a big thing for him to do that,” said Evans to TNT Sports. “He didn’t have to do that. But I think it’s very difficult for any player coming to a new club to hit the ground running and maybe he’s been a bit harsh on himself.

“I’ve seen that quite a lot. And I’ve experienced that myself.

“He’s replacing David de Gea, who was here for a long time. Again, remember, David at the start of his career at Manchester United, maybe went through a bit of a tough time to settle in and we saw what sort of career he would go on to have for this club.”
