Onana laid down after roaring: – One of my worst matches
André Onana was signed from Manchester United for NOK 580 million from Inter this summer, but his start to life at United was very difficult. In the first five Premier League matches, there were ten behinds.
Wednesday’s championship debut for the club was unsuccessful.
– One of my worst matches, he told TNT Sport after the 4-3 defeat against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.
28 minutes into the game, everything went wrong. It looked as though United’s goalkeeper was getting soap on him when Leroy Sane fired a shot that appeared to be fodder for the goalkeeper.
– A roarer from Onana, says Stephen Warnock on BBC Radio 5 Live.
– He is the one to blame. It was an easy save. It was a tough blow to miss, said former United champion Rio Ferdinand, according to the BBC.
– I have a lot to prove. My start at Manchester United was not as good as I would have liked, says Onana himself.
Five minutes after the first goal, United’s defense largely failed as Serge Gnabry scored to make it 2-0 for Bayern Munich.
Four minutes into the second half, Denmark’s Rasmus Højlund gave the Red Devils new hope when he scored on his Champions League debut.
But that hope did not last long. The reason is, in the 51st minute of the match, a ball hit the arm of another United Denmark player, Christian Eriksen, in the penalty box. And after a VAR check, Harry Kane was able to place the ball on the penalty spot. The former Tottenham champion made no mistake, scoring his first Champions League goal for Bayern Munich.
Throughout the first half, the home team seemed to be in good control, and Onana several times prevented more goals. But two minutes before full time, Casemiro again awarded a point deduction for Manchester United, and with that he ignited any small hopes of getting a point.
Two minutes into extra time, Mathys Tel answered for Bayern Munich, and it looked like it was 4-2.
That didn’t happen, as five minutes into the second half Casemiro scored his second goal of the night. So it ended with goal celebrations and a score of 4-3.
