In the buildup to the Premier League blockbuster against Newcastle United on Saturday, Manchester United manager Erik Ten Hag is backing his under-scrutiny goalkeeper Andre Onana while labelling him as one of the best in the league.
The 27 million pound sterling man has had mixed start to life in Manchester, looking increasingly solid in domestic league while extremely disappointing while playing in Europe.
In the latest Champions League match against Galatasaray, he conceded two very soft goals, both scored from set-piece by his former Ajax Amsterdam colleague Hakim Ziyech.
As a result, United only managed to get a 3-3 draw in Istanbul which further slimming down their chance to get to the knockout round.
“If you analyse, he is still the second best goalkeeper in the league overall. He bounced back from mistakes in Munich to put on a strong display against Burnley three days later. He’s very strong mentally,” Ten Hag said.
United’s league run is positive recently and the test against direct competitor Newcastle is deemed very important at this stage of the season.
