Not 'giving a s***' and masterclass vs Porto - How Andre Onana became Manchester United's No.1

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

Andre Onana has already endeared himself to the Manchester United fan base just two weeks into his stay. The 27-year-old looks to be a dynamic dose of vocal dynamite at the back, while also being a slick and smooth serviceman with his feet.

The Cameroon goalkeeper has had an exciting ride from Barcelona’s youth system to Amsterdam and Milan before his Old Trafford arrival.

His stock rose the most during his time under Erik ten Hag at Ajax. “Their relationship was very good,” says Michael Statham of Dutch football outlet Football Oranje. “He’s taken Onana to United and I think he’ll get the best out of him.” Three-time Eredivisie winner Onana was, and still is, a respected figure among Ajax supporters after playing big roles in their journey to the 2017 Europa League final - where they lost to United - and their memorable run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2019.

That reputation seems to have disappeared but he is still brave and he will go for things sometimes. He will sometimes rush out of his goal, he’s not afraid to play with his feet and is a likeable character.” That personality won him a lot of fans, his social media presence often depicting him wearing a club jersey to show his adoration for the Dutch giants.
