Andre Onana had a difficult start to life as a Man Utd goalkeeper but his penalty save against FC Copenhagen could be a turning point.
When Andre Onana stuck out a big right hand to turn Jordan Larsson's penalty around the post on Tuesday night, Peter Schmeichel stood at the other end of Old Trafford and let out a roar and a fist pump in celebration.
His teammates told him it wasn't necessary, but the Cameroon international wouldn't have any of it. "No, I'm doing it," he said. It won him plenty of respect in the dressing room and was an example of the character and conviction that meant the faith of United's management team never wavered. It's certainly been a shaky start and his distribution has suffered as his confidence has been rocked. Suddenly, Onana's technique is being pored over like never before and weaknesses are exposed.
"Hopefully not. Hopefully we can beat him. Before the game I always expect the best from our contenders," he said. "I prefer to see the strengths. He saved a penalty in the last minute which helped them to stay in contention to qualify for the last 16. Mentally it’s a good boost for them."
