UCL: Manchester United manager, Ten Hag reacts to Onana’s error

Erik ten Hag, Manchester United manager,has refused to blame goalkeeper, Andre Onana for his error as they lost 4-3 to Bayern Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

The gaffer insisted that the team should focus on team play rather than individuals.

Ten Hag, speaking after the game at the Allianz Arena, insisted the focus should be on the team and not individuals.

Visiting Manchester United lost narrowly to the German champions in Munich by 4-3 in this season’s UEFA Champions League opener.

Bayern Munich opened scoring after Onana’s error in the encounter.

Leroy Sane capitalized on Onana’s error to score first in the game before Bayern doubled their lead four minutes later through Serge Gnabry.

Rasmus Hojlund scored his first United goal early in the second half, but Bayern hit back with Harry Kane’s penalty.

Casemiro scored two minutes from time, but substitute Mathys Tel added a fourth for Bayern. There was still time for Casemiro to add another deep in injury time.

Onana apologised after the match for his error but Ten Hag did not want to focus on one particular player as a basis for the loss:

He said: “It is good he is taking responsibility but it is about the team. You have to bounce back as a team and we scored three goals after that.

“The mistakes happen but when they happen they are gone. We must always believe we can bounce back and tonight we showed that belief, we kept going after mistakes and kept believing.”
