‘He’s a massive problem’… TalkSPORT pundits say 27-year-old Man United player is a real issue

Jason Cundy and Jamie O’Hara have now been discussing the fortunes of Andre Onana at Manchester United after a difficult night against Galatasaray.

Onana was arguably at fault for two of the goals United conceded when being in the lead, and perhaps could have done better for the third.

And although his shot-stopping has often been called into question since arriving, Cundy and O’Hara have now noticed another concern.

Speaking on talkSPORT last night, the duo were now not even sure if Onana was doing well with his distribution – said to be his biggest strength.

Cundy said: “He’s a massive problem now. There’s no escaping it. We’re too deep into the season now. He is a massive problem.”

O’Hara replied: “Even his distribution. His half volleys were going to the midfield players.”

Cundy: “His all round game, I’m afraid, I think the jury has given its decision and you have bought a pup. Onana is losing you games and points, he is a massive problem.

“I think he is the biggest problem at United now. I don’t know where David De Gea is right now but I think he’s probably sitting there and he’s quite content about what’s happened.”

Andre Onana endured another tough night as Man United drew against Galatasaray

It is slightly difficult to understand why Onana has struggled so much since moving to Old Trafford.

The keeper has been brilliant for Ajax and Inter Milan at times, doing it on the biggest of stages.

However, he must now be enduring a confidence issue at United, one not helped by the often chaotic setting at the club.

And whilst Cundy and O’Hara were shocked that Onana’s passing was now even array, it’s bound to happen if he’s lacking belief.

Although he receives a lot of scrutiny publicly, Erik ten Hag will surely stick by his goalkeeper, one he has the utmost faith in.

Onana did endure a troublesome night against Galatasaray, a costly one for United, but he has shown signs of improvement.

And although frustrated by the draw, Ten Hag will be impressed by the performance of one player he now envisions as a starter
