Andre Onana has assured Manchester United fans that they are about to see a new version of him, as the goalkeeper continues to regain form.
After some standout performances, including crucial saves against Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, the Cameroonian has vowed to take more risks and push the boundaries in his role to help the team.
Onana has slowly started finding his rhythm following a challenging start to the season. His displays in recent games, especially during crucial moments, have been instrumental in helping Manchester United secure important results.
Against Crystal Palace, he made a game-saving double stop, and his composed performance against Aston Villa’s well-organized attack helped United earn much-needed draws. These moments of brilliance have provided relief for under-pressure manager Erik ten Hag.
Speaking about his intentions, Onana expressed his confidence and desire to bring a bold approach back into his game. “I know the country, I know the league, I know the city. I will take a lot of risks, like I used to do in the past.
You guys are going to see a different Andre now,” Onana stated. His remarks signal his intent to be a more daring and commanding presence between the posts, unafraid to take chances as he adapts to the demands of English football.
While Onana has shown improvement in his shot-stopping abilities, his distribution with the ball has raised some concerns.
Though willing to take risks when playing out from the back, his passing has been inconsistent at times, lacking the accuracy required to launch quick transitions. However, his confidence appears to be growing with each game, and United fans remain hopeful that he will continue to improve in this aspect.
Onana’s strong form has also been reflected in the Premier League clean sheet tally, where he is currently tied with Liverpool’s Alisson Becker for the most shutouts after seven matches.
As Manchester United head into the international break, supporters are optimistic that Onana will return refreshed and ready to stabilize the team’s backline.
Their next test comes on October 19 against Brentford, a match where Onana’s ability to lead the defence and spark attacking moves will be closely watched as United look to get back on track.
