It took me six months to feel good at Man Utd - Onana

Image
  Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana says it took him six months "to feel good" at Old Trafford. United paid £47.2m to sign Onana from Inter Milan in July as replacement for four-time club player of the year David de Gea. However, despite lofty expectations on his arrival, the Cameroon international was chipped from 50 yards on his Old Trafford debut against Lens and then made a series of errors that contributed to the club’s poor Premier League form and Champions League group-stage elimination. Onana's performances didn’t improve significantly until after he returned from the Africa Cup of Nations in February and while he has made the odd mistake, he is now regarded as one of the more reliable members of manager Erik ten Hag’s squad as they head into Saturday's FA Cup final against rivals Manchester City (15:00 BST). “I arrived as the best goalkeeper in the world and ‘boom’ it went down. It was like ‘what happened?’," said the 28-year-old. “Bu...
