‘Not had a lot of coaching’ : Premier League legend criticises Manchester United star

One of Manchester United’s biggest problems this season has been the form of goalkeeper Andre Onana.

The goalkeeper joined United in a £47m move from Inter Milan but he has been completely out of form since his big move to Old Trafford.

He’s largely to be blamed for the Red Devils’ early exit from Europe and has cost Erik ten Hag’s side numerous points in the Premier League.

Premier League and Arsenal legend David Seaman has now shared his opinion about the United goalkeeper.

Onana’s shot-stopping technique, according to Seaman, is really peculiar; it appears as though he hasn’t had sufficient coaching from an early age.

Speaking on the Seaman Says Podcast, Seaman said:

“It’s a real mixed bag with Onana, he’s made some good saves, but he’s made some easy saves and tried to make them look good. He’s had some right stinkers as well. There’s too much other stuff there that worries me, he makes saves look good, his style is totally different, the way he makes saves is strange, it’s almost as if he’s not had a lot of coaching from a young age because he makes weird saves.”

The former England international was a world class goalkeeper during his playing career and was a vital part of Arsenal’s successful team of the late 90s and early 2000s.

Seaman knows a thing or two about the art of goalkeeper and if he feels that Onana’s technique is down to lack of coaching, it’s a reason to worry for United.
