Manchester United boss, Erik ten Hag, has praised Andre Onana after he made his debut in last night’s 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid.
Onana made several impressive saves against the Spanish giants while he looked comfortable in possession but, understandably at this early stage, there appeared to be issues with communication between the former Inter star and his new teammates.
The 27-year-old was left stranded for Jude Bellingham’s opening goal with United’s defence cut open by one lofted pass from Antonio Rudiger and Ten Hag conceded there were obvious areas that need urgent attention before the start of the new Premier League season.
‘I think good, solid,’ Ten Hag said of Onana’s display. ‘Two very good saves. He was there in the moment the team needed him, so he did his job. I think he integrated well in our team.
‘This is the first game and detail, we have a lot of work to do between him and the defending part (of the team). You could see with the second goal where we are not close at the back post. It can’t be that and goals will come there.
‘There are things that are rules we have to follow, and they’ll come quick, that we integrate that into our way of play.’
