André Onana rejoices with a legend after his brilliant performance against Tottenham
Often criticized for his performances, André Onana received praise from Rio Ferdinand after an exceptional performance against Tottenham on Sunday in the Premier League.
During this shock of the sixth day, the Cameroonian goalkeeper, who seems to be gaining strength after a difficult first season in England, delivered an impressive match. Author of 7 decisive saves, including 5 in the penalty area, Onana shone despite Manchester United's heavy 3-0 defeat at home. Without his crucial interventions, the Red Devils would undoubtedly have suffered a much more severe defeat.
Rio Ferdinand, legend of Manchester United, did not fail to highlight the impact of the ex-Inter Milan goalkeeper on the match: “Do you know who I should pay tribute to, who I criticized a lot last season? Onana. Without him, we were going to concede six or seven goals today. Onana has been good this season, he has progressed, he has made big saves. (…) What I expected from Onana is what I see this season.
He's the only one today who comes out of the match with some credit. He can leave with his head held high. He won't do it because he is injured from conceding three goals, but he was not at fault. He allowed us to stay in the match”Ferdinand said on his YouTube channel.
These words should undoubtedly strengthen the confidence of André Onana, who, despite the defeat, proved his worth with this high-level performance.
