It’s not pleasant to be under the spotlight so early into a joining a new club. Andre Onana’s season has proved to be one of his biggest challenges ever. That being said, the Manchester United goalkeeper is ready to accept the past and move into the future by stating the phrase: “will be alright.” The Red Devils goalkeeper gets ready for one of their most important games of the year against Liverpool.
The player had a great season last year with Inter Milan. Onana came to Manchester United with a lot of expectations for him after a great performance in the UEFA Champions League. The keeper finished with eight clean sheets, taking them to the finals of the competition. And Onana believes that form is temporary, but class is permanent.

Andre Onana is optimistic about what the future holds for him. Despite some poor results for the club and personally, the player believes that what happened in the last 6 months is not a reflection of who he is. According to Athletic, Onana said to Sky Sports, “I’ve done it, and I know I will do better than what is happening now because football is just moments and it will change. And when everything changes, we will become the best again.”
Onana played a major role in conceding some easy goals gaining criticism from experts. It all seemed to have started with Bayern Munich, when he let Leroy Sane’s shot pass through him very easily. Onana had then conceded two more easy goals just in the Champions League to suppress their chances even more.
Manchester United conceded 15 goals, which was the most for any Premier League team in the UCL. The club finished with 4 points on the table and losing 4 out of 6 games. But Onana will now look to salvage some pride by doing well in the Premier League.

The Reds are 10 points above United, but this could be an ideal platform for Onana to turn the tables. If United win the game, they can move to sixth spot over Newcastle United. On the other hand, Liverpool will strengthen their title hopes if they edge past the 20-time English Champions. On the whole, the idea of starting over again for Onana doesn’t seem too bad, but whether the game against Liverpool will be return to form remains to be seen.
