Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana says it took him six months 'to feel good' at Old Trafford, in the build-up to Saturday's FA Cup final.
Manchester United's average shots faced per game was the second highest in Europe's big five leagues this season, behind only Sheffield United United paid £47.2m to sign Onana from Inter Milan in July as replacement for four-time club player of the year David de Gea.
“I arrived as the best goalkeeper in the world and ‘boom’ it went down. It was like ‘what happened?’," said the 28-year-old. “We are talking about the same player,” said Onana. “So now he’s a bad player? No. You can have a bad season or a bad start but the most important thing is how you end. The wariness among some United fans about a second consecutive FA Cup final showdown with Manchester City comes from the sheer number of chances their side allows.
“I don’t mind facing 20 or 30 shots,” said Onana. “I am very happy with what my team-mates are doing because a lot of them make sacrifices for the team. Saturday is clearly a game of huge significance for Ten Hag, whose United future remains open to question.
