After a thrilling Champions League game Manchester United ended up making all sorts of headlines regarding their performances, on and off the pitch. Andre Onana‘s magnificent penalty save against Copenhagen drew a lot of appreciation from teammates and fans.
One such incident was from his young teammate Alejandro Garnacho who uploaded a social media post that has been caught under scrutiny by the FA. He posted a picture of the team celebrating with the goalkeeper and a gorilla emoji which is being investigated for potential racism.
However, Onana came to the immediate defense of his teammate. He cleared that he was not offended by the gesture. Further, he stated that as a Black athlete, it would be his preference to choose what he is offended by. His teammate’s action does not fall under that category. Onana wrote on his socials:
People cannot choose what I should be offended by.
Manchester United have been lucky to have some of their players step up when they most needed them recently. Harry Maguire has improved massively in the earlier games and would be looking forward to a good performance as they host Manchester City at the derby next.
Harry Maguire and Andre Onana step up for Manchester United
In a crucial Champions League match dedicated to Sir Bobby Charlton’s memory, Manchester United, desperate for a win after two group defeats, overcame a rocky start to secure a dramatic victory. Harry Maguire, in fine form, netted the sole goal.
Andre Onana initially struggled but he has emerged as the hero with a vital late penalty save, securing Manchester United’s sentimental victory dedicated to Sir Bobby Charlton. The match started with United in a passive and error-prone state, avoiding an early goal against FC Copenhagen. Onana’s key save kept United in the game.
Christian Eriksen’s halftime entry boosted the team, and Maguire netted the winning goal. Yet, the defining moment came in stoppage time when Onana’s crucial penalty save secured a vital victory and potentially revitalized his United career after a challenging start following his move from Internazionale.
