Erik ten Hag has challenged his new goalkeeper Andre Onana to ‘step up’ after a shaky start to his Manchester United career.
Onana has conceded 19 goals in 11 games since joining United from Inter Milan for £47.2million in the summer as a replacement for David de Gea, and Sheffield United will be relishing the opportunity to test him out at Bramall Lane on Saturday night.
Despite a dramatic comeback win over Brentford a fortnight ago, the 27-year-old Cameroon international was criticised for conceding Mathias Jensen’s opening goal.
Ten Hag acknowledged his former Ajax goalkeeper can do better but backed Onana to come good, pointing out that De Gea and even Peter Schmeichel struggled at the start of their Old Trafford careers.
