'He's a winner' - Daley Blind labels Andre Onana 'one of the great' goalkeepers in world football despite awful start at Man Utd

Premier League

Manchester United

Brentford

The Cameroon international is under pressure at United after joining from Inter in the summer transfer window.Onana was drafted in to replace error-prone David de Gea but has already had his fair share of blunders, most recently when he <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/watch-david-de-gea-man-utd-goalkeeper-andre-onana-bayern-munich-leroy-sane-champions-league/blt9e9c4e96eaadb0bf" target="_blank">knocked a tame Leroy Sane shot into his own net</a> in the 4-3 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League. That high-profile error came after he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/andre-onana-goalkeeper-man-utd-nottingham-forest-old-trafford/blt043d133bd2226459" target="_blank">humiliated during the 3-2 win against Nottingham Forest</a> in the Premier League in August.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Blind played alongside the 27-year-old at Ajax for four years before the shot stopper joined Inter.The Netherlands international, who is now at La Liga side Girona, has full faith in his old team-mate to come good, saying he is a "complete" goalkeeper who can be relied on when he "has his head right".

THE BIGGER PICTURE

"He’s one of the great goalkeepers in the world," Blind told <a href="https://theathletic.com/4901969/2023/09/28/daley-blind-heart-attack-manchester-united-ten-hag/" target="_blank">The Athletic</a>. "He has a nonchalance, he’s complete and when he has his head right he can be one of the best goalkeepers. He’s a winner. Always wants to train more. I had a good relationship with him."

WHAT THEY SAID 

Onana will hope to prove Blind correct by putting in a strong performance when United take on Crystal Palace at Old Trafford on Saturday.
