“All this just to concede 80 goals”- Fans laugh at Andre Onana as player warns Manchester United fans that he’ll continue to take risks next season

Andre Onana‘s time at Manchester United has been far from ideal. The former Ajax and Inter Milan keeper has struggled to live up to his expectations under Erik ten Hag, with ‘hilarious’ errors and lapse of judgements being the highlights of his time at Old Trafford.

After signing for the Reds back in 2023, the player let in a total of 58 goals in 38 appearances. While many backed the player to grow into his role at the club and make a name for himself next season, his recent comments have taken away confidence from many.

One of the most characteristic traits of the Cameroonian is his affinity to take risks. In a recent interaction with the press, Onana claimed that fans will be treated to more of the same this season, and that they better be ready.

I'll take a lot of risks. Be prepared. I'll enjoy it even more when the season starts.

The 28-year-old is a regular starter under Erik Ten Hag and it will only be fitting if the goalkeeper finally lives up to his mark in the upcoming season. Despite all his shortcomings, Onana had the highest number in terms of goals prevented in the League.

Fans react to Andre Onana’s confident claim for next season

There are very few players that take as many risks on the ball as Andre Onana. As United prepare for the 2024/25 season under the ‘Ratcliffe era’, fans couldn’t have been more worried about Onana. A fan commented that his claims were a warning to fans that he’ll break his own record for most goals conceded in a single season.

Another laughed at how Onana has started to ‘enjoy’ the hate and criticism aimed toward him. A fan argued that a dash of confidence was the only thing stopping him from putting his error-prone style of play behind him. Rival fans laughed at the same and reminded fans that they’ll come back to this comment after the season begins.

It is heartwarming to see that several Manchester United fans still support the keeper even though others find it difficult to watch games when the goalkeeper takes risks ‘unnecessarily’. With four more years left on his contract, it is clear that Onana is going nowhere. With the addition of Leny Yoro and Joshua Zirkzee, there is reason for fans to be excited about the new season.
