'He did not let the mistakes get to him, and now he is playing with confidence, which is a great factor for any goalkeeper.'
It is still far too early to say whether or not Andre Onana will be a good or bad Manchester United signing.
Time will tell whether Onana ends up being more like De Gea or Massimo Taibi, but what is crucial is that he is given that time to settle into his new environment, just as two of the club's greatest goalkeepers were. "He is young. He will learn. He will come through," Ferguson said of De Gea after he struggled against West Brom on his debut.
Even then, questions were asked of United's new man in goal, but it wasn't long before he found his confidence again and went on to be considered one of the greatest of all time.
