After Manchester United’s defeat against Bayern Munich, André Onana took responsibility for his big ball.

Manchester United may have regrets. Although dominated by Bayern Munich Wednesday evening during the first day of the Champions League, the Red Devils only lost 4-3 after a completely crazy end to the match with three goals in the last 10 minutes.

A pellet that hurts

In the end, what perhaps made the difference was this error ofAndré Onana shortly before the half-hour mark while his team had put in a consistent performance so far. On a distant strike from Leroy Sané, the Ghanaian goalkeeper loses his position and lets the German open the scoring. Lying on the ground with his head in his hands, the former Inter Milan player will look for the ball in his net again four minutes later and two other times during the match.

“A stab”

After the match, the 27-year-old showed up in the mixed zone and showed a lot of regrets about his first mistake, for which he takes full responsibility. “I think we. had a very good match. We controlled the game just before I made this mistake. This mistake was a stab for us, it was difficult. Just after we took the second goal. It was my mistake that allowed Bayern Munich to win this match, we are big boys, we have to know how to take responsibility. That’s why I’m here. I am happy with the work of the collective, the sacrifice of the kids, they gave everything but this mistake did not help us, but we showed a lot of character, we came back”he confided.

Despite his team’s poor start to the season and three consecutive defeats in all competitions, Onana is not worried about the future and knows that he and his teammates can turn things around. “In football and as in life, there are bad times, we are going through a difficult period. This is the time to stay together, to continue working hard. I am convinced that if we continue like this, things will get back in order”he added.
