The Manchester United man has been in good form and made several vital saves in the thrilling 4-3 victory over Liverpool in the Emirates Cup quarter-final.
In the latest edition of Inside United, the official club magazine, we asked the Cameroon international about his idols and he was quick to lavish praise on Neuer, who really first came across the radar of Reds fans when producing a remarkable performance between the sticks for Schalke in the 2010/11 Champions League semi-final first leg in Gelsenkirchen.
Since moving to Bayern Munich, Neuer has continued to show his qualities and Onana feels his role in helping Germany win the 2014 World Cup should never be underestimated.
