Onana “wants more” after 8th premier league clean sheet

Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has confidently stated there is “much more” to come from him after enjoying a turnaround in form over the past few months.

Man Utd won 2-0 against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday after goals from Bruno Fernandes and Marcus Rashford.

United needed to bounce back after suffering a 3-1 defeat in the Manchester derby and with the race for the top four beginning to intensify. They couldn’t afford to drop points against Everton.

Fortunately, the Toffees eased any nerves when conceding a penalty within 10 minutes, which Alejandro Garnacho won by making a positive run into the box. Bruno Fernandes converted the spot-kick and, remarkably, the away side conceded another penalty shortly after that.

Although Fernandes is United’s usual penalty taker, he handed the ball to Marcus Rashford and the forward sent Jordan Pickford the wrong way to find the bottom left corner.

Everton created plenty of chances throughout the 90 minutes, but they rarely looked like finding the back of the net and Onana recorded his eighth clean sheet in the league. The victory closed the gap to fourth-placed Aston Villa to eight points and Unai Emery’s side play Tottenham – who sit in fifth position – tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon.

Onana spoke to MUTV to reflect on the performance and said: “I feel good, happy for the victory because it was an important game for us. Every match is like a final at the moment.

“We had to be brave because we faced a really good opponent. Especially in the first half and I was happy with the opening goal. We’re ready for the coming games.”

The interviewer informed Onana he has recorded the second most clean sheets in the league this season and he responded: “That means we are good at defending. The defenders, midfielders, strikers are sacrificing for the team and that’s what we work for, so I’m very happy with these numbers.

“There’s more to come, much more. It took me seven months to feel good in Manchester, so first of all, I’m very happy for the support of everybody because it was a tough time.

“In the beginning, when I arrived here, I received a lot of support from the fans, my teammates and the club. Now I’m better and I’m very happy.

“You will see much more from me, trust me. Hopefully in the coming years, we’ll fight for big things. Hopefully we get top four this season because it’s very important we get Champions League.”
