Ogasabi on 9am News Nigeria reports that Manchester United fans are eagerly anticipating the start of the new season, especially with goalkeeper Andre Onana promising to take greater risks. Onana, who faced significant criticism in his first season at Old Trafford, is determined to showcase a daring attitude on the pitch. The Red Devils’ No.1 goalkeeper was previously faulted for making costly errors that led to their early exit from the Champions League and an eighth-place finish in the Premier League. Additionally, his distribution was questioned, as several passes went astray.
When asked about his bold approach, Onana stated, “That’s me. And I believe it is what you will see this season because I will take a lot of risks. I can already tell you! Be prepared because it will happen this season, trust me! I’ll love it even more once the season starts.”
Onana elaborated, “The best teams in the world take risks. It’s about building from the back, recognizing situations—whether the opponent presses with one, three, or four players. It’s crucial for me to notice these things and make the best choice for the team. I’ll take on a lot of responsibility, and I believe my back is big enough to bear it all, right? This season will be enjoyable.”
Manchester United will aim for a strong start as they face Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield this weekend. The following week, they kick off their league campaign against Fulham. For more breaking news and updates, stay tuned to Ogasabi on 9am News Nigeria.
