We know Onana not good enough – Ten Hag

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag says he’s aware Andre Onana has not met expectations so far this season.

However, Ten Hag will continue to back his new goalkeeper.

He said: “He knows [he’s not been good enough], we know, he will do much better. As with every player who’s coming into the Premier League, you need an integration period but he has to step up. Big United keepers like Peter Schmeichel and David De Gea started [slowly] and Andre knows that it is good to know a little bit from history.

“We live now, we live in the future and he has to make his future by giving better performances. I’m sure he will do. He showed it at Barcelona, Ajax, Inter Milan, he was in the semi-final and the final of the Champions League, I’m sure he will give a great performance.”

On facing Sheffield United tomorrow night, Ten Hag also stated: “You can’t restart, but there is a strong dressing room. They are aligned, determined and willing to win games. That is what we have seen. In the end, we beat them and physically we were very strong, mentally, we kept going and were very strong.”
