How Man Utd made a mistake signing this player

Former Chelsea star Chris Sutton has said Manchester United made a mistake signing Andre Onana from Serie A side Inter Milan in the recent summer transfer window.

According to Sutton, the Cameroonian star is not good enough to play at Old Trafford. He added that the Red Devils would have been far better off sticking with David de Gea.

Speaking on Mail Sport’s It’s All Kicking Off podcast, Sutton believes Onana is putting pressure on the rest of the team after making a string of high-profile errors.

“In truth, I had to look his name up,” Sutton said.

“We have had this great debate about Arsenal having two excellent goalkeepers. I think Onana is OK with his feet but you have eventually got to use your hands and I don’t think he’s good enough.

“When you watch Match of the Day, people like to strip goals back and say ‘there was a mistake in midfield, a misplaced pass, [Victor] Lindelof could have done better…’

“The bottom line is, over the years, Manchester United have had great goalkeepers – Peter Schmeichel, even David de Gea.

“De Gea was a far better goalkeeper than Onana, but if Onana just does his job – and it wasn’t a difficult save to make – then there’s not an issue.

“I think he is bringing increased pressure on the whole team and the truth is he is not good enough for Manchester United and they have made a major risk [mistake] getting him in.”
