Erik ten Hag details Man Utd’s rationale behind Andre Onana’s signing.

“The most important aspect for a goalkeeper is maintaining clean sheets, and he can’t achieve that on his own,” stated the manager. “Therefore, a strong defensive organization is crucial. The goalkeeper’s ability to keep the goal clean is the first criterion for being a good goalkeeper.

“However, modern football also requires good distribution from the back and playing out from the defense, and Andre possesses that quality. Both aspects need to be covered, and we are satisfied.

“With his physical presence and personality, he is determined to win. He is extremely eager to win trophies and will contribute to the team and help elevate the squad to greater heights,” the manager added.”
