Blame Onana? This is the person who reported that Casemiro was expelled
If we look deeper, Andre Onana is just a victim of Man Utd’s way of deploying the ball.
Man Utd got off to a great start when hosting Galatasaray in the second match of the Champions League group stage this season.
Rasmus Hojlund is the bright spot when the Danish player plays extremely well. He scored a double with a series of classy tackles. Hojlund even kicked the opponent’s net 3 times, but 1 time was not recognized.
However, in the end, Man Utd still lost with a score of 2-3.
Andre Onana is the focus of criticism. Galatasaray’s shots were not too difficult, but Onana did not catch the ball well.
The Cameroonian player also had a situation that harmed Casemiro. That’s when he carelessly passed to his teammate in front.
However, the Galatasaray player won the ball. In order to avoid losing, Casemiro had no choice but to make a mistake.
On the 11m mark, Mauro Icardi missed the kιck. But clearly this is the fault of the whole system.
Onana was called out, but the Inter Milan goalkeeper cannot be blamed alone.
If we look more closely, Victor Lindelof is the player who puts Man Utd at a disadvantage. In this situation, he raised his hand to signal Onana to pass the ball to Casemiro. In reality, Lindelof should have been the one to receive the ball.
When the surrounding teammates do not have enough confidence, Onana does not have many options to deploy the ball upwards. Obviously, Onana’s playing style contains many risks. However, cases like Lindelof are equally deplorable.
