Andre Onana has blamed himself for Manchester United’s defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
Onana made a costly error in the first half, spilling Leroy Sane’s long-range shot into the back of the net to gift Bayern Munich the lead. The visitors doubled their advantage four minutes later through Serge Gnabry, and United were unable to recover.
Onana spoke to the media after the game and took full responsibility for his mistake.
“It’s difficult,” Onana said. “We started very well but after my mistake we lost control of the game. I’m the one who let the team down. It’s because of me we didn’t win this game.”
Onana’s honesty and willingness to take responsibility for his mistake is commendable. It shows that he is a mature and professional player who is committed to improving.
Ten Hag’s decision to defend Onana is also a positive sign. It shows that the manager is creating a supportive environment where players feel comfortable making mistakes. This is essential for developing young players and building a successful team.
