By The Cameroonian goalkeeper discussed his playing philosophy and his view of the modern goalie’s job. He was first told not to play in the centre, but he has since concluded that if there is room, one should always move forward to take advantage of it.
He emphasises the significance of a custodian who possesses several traits, including the capacity to play with their feet, success in one-on-one scenarios, courage, instilling the squad with confidence, and proficiency in handling high balls. Such a custodian would provide the side with a numerical edge, especially when playing the opposition squad one-on-one.
This depiction contrasts with the actions taken by David De Gea, the current starting custodian for Manchester United, during the season. De Gea has made costly mistakes for the team against Sevilla, which led to their exit from the Europa League, against West Ham during the battle for the top four in the Premier League, and against Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
De Gea has risked the team with his shaky passing accuracy, unwillingness to claim crosses that resulted in goals, and unsteadiness in one-on-one situations. Even his previously exceptional shot-stopping ability has declined, as Ilkay Gundogan’s vital second goal in the FA Cup final demonstrated.
Given these conditions, there is conjecture that André Onana would be the best choice to take De Gea’s place since he epitomises the traits that Manchester United supporters are looking for. The expectations of the team’s supporters for their number-one custodian are in line with what Onana said in his video on how he sees a custodian. To cover the vacuum created by De Gea’s departure, Onana will probably join Manchester United for the upcoming campaign.
