During a friendly match lost against Dortmund on Monday night, Manchester United’s new goalkeeper André Onana did not hesitate to shout at Harry Maguire after the latter’s blunder.
Another setback for Manchester United in a friendly match. After several defeats in this pre-season, including one against Real Madrid (0-2), the Red Devils were defeated by Dortmund on Monday night with a score of 3-2. The team was plagued by defensive lapses, especially from Harry Maguire, who was recently relieved of his captaincy role.
At the start of the second half, with Manchester United trailing (2-1), Maguire regained possession and attempted a risky pass towards Scott McTominay, but the pressure exerted by the German players inevitably led to a loss of possession. The Germans immediately capitalized on this opportunity to advance towards the opposing penalty area thanks to Sébastien Haller. However, despite the chance to score, the BVB striker was hindered by Manchester United’s new goalkeeper, André Onana, who prevented the conclusion of the action.
Clearly dissatisfied with Maguire’s decision to attempt this risky pass under intense pressing from Borussia Dortmund’s players, Onana rushed out of his goal to express his discontent towards the center-back. The former Inter Milan goalkeeper shouted his reproaches at Maguire, but the latter chose to remain silent and did not seek to respond to the incident. It was a vehement reaction from the Cameroonian, showing that he will not hesitate to put his defenders in place in case of mistakes.
