Onana named RED DEVIL of the month of March

Andre Onana won Manchester United’s Player of the Month prize for the very first time, after an impressive March.

While results were fairly mixed for the Reds, from the vertigo-inducing high of Man Us 4-3 Emirates FA Cup victory over Liverpool to a disappointing 3-1 defeat to Manchester City, Onana was consistent in his performances.

United’s no.24 made great saves in both of those games, as well as in the 2-0 Premier League win against Everton and 1-1 draw at Brentford.

He also played a key role in the build-up to Marcus Rashford’s brilliant opener at City, laying on the ‘pre-assist’ for Bruno Fernandes to set up Rashford at the Etihad Stadium. That strike is up for the Premier League’s Goal of the Month award.

Onana was voted best player for March, as he beat Diogo Dalot and Alejandro Garnacho to the no.1 spot.

Onana has played every minute of Man Us 29 league games so far and is one of just seven Premier League ever-presents in 2023/24.

According to FBRef.com, Andre saved 23 of the 30 shots on target he faced during March.

He’s on 107 total saves in the top flight this season, with only Thomas Kaminski, of Luton Town, and West Ham United’s Alphonse Areola making more.

Onana is currently joint-second in the Golden Glove rankings, with his clean sheets total of eight being three behind David Raya, of Arsenal.

Andre is the seventh Red to take home Player of the Month this term and the win comes after three nominations, with the former Ajax and Internazionale man also competing for August and October’s accolades.

Previous winners this season were all midfielders, with Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro and Scott McTominay recognised for their performances in August, September and October respectively.
