The where the cause of our Problem at Manchester United and the fans blamed me for that.
Despite Man United’s 2-0 victory over Brighton on Sunday, there is no denying that Erik ten Hag’s squad has had a totally poor season.
Victory was insufficient to propel United over eighth position in the table, their lowest ever Premier League result.
United’s chances of participating in Europe next season depend on beating Manchester City in the FA Cup final on Saturday.
United made significant improvement under Ten Hag last season, but this season they have regressed.
This season, the Dutch coach has received harsh criticism from fans, past players, and analysts, as have several of his players. One of them is goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has had a poor season after joining from Inter Milan for £47.2 million last summer.
On the newest edition of The Overlap, brought to you by Sky Bet, Onana confessed that he does not pay heed to previous players’ criticism of him and his teammates, but he is concerned about the impact it has on younger players.
As a result, the 28-year-old would rather get criticism from himself and other senior team members.
“I do not pay attention to it. I’ve joined this squad to take bullets because we’re still in the building stages and aren’t the greatest right now,” Onana stated.
“We have other teams who outperform us, and we must be honest and admit this. If and when things go wrong, don’t go for the youngest player; I’m here to take it; Bruno [Fernandes], Casemiro, and Harry [Maguire] are there, and we’re accustomed to it.
“When it comes to those who were seated where I am and won everything, it might be strange – we are in the same boat.
“We attempt to follow what you do. I don’t mind it, but some may. To be honest, it’s simply part of the game.”
