Manchester United goalkeeper, Andre Onana has come out to admit to finding it strange that some fans still choose to support him, rather than abuse him. This is coming during an error-strewn start to life at Manchester United, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, he actually received a lot of positive messages during his difficult start months back, and those supporters simply urged him to persevere and wait for the good times.
Onana added that he felt the messages were abnormal at the time because most supporters only care about results.
His words, “I received a lot of positive messages when I arrived here and when I was facing difficulty here, [the] message from the fans, from Manchester United fans [across] the whole world there was like, ‘Andre take your time. We know who you are and everything will be all right’. But it was strange because normally a fan, a normal fan is just looking for the result. But I received message[s]… ‘Andre, don’t worry, we are with you. Keep going’. They trust me and I was like, ‘wow, I never had this before’. Most of the time [wherever] you go, when you don’t deliver in the beginning they’re straight. It is difficult. But here they were very nice with me and I think it’s time maybe now to start to pay back now because they were very nice with me.
Now we are all human being, sometimes you are right, sometimes you’re wrong. So you just have to know how to deal with these kind of things. But I always say you never lose in life, you win or you learn. So when you don’t win, you learn. So you just have to make sure if things are not going how you want – [be] patient keep working and it will. I [don’t know] if it’s today, maybe I hope we can turn everything today, but if it’s not today it’ll be tomorrow. If it’s not tomorrow, be patient. It’ll be after tomorrow. So you have to be patient, but they tell me that you have to be resilient, then you never have to give up. Because if you give up, better don’t step in the pitch. We have been in this game for long already, so we all know what we did to reach this level. I know what I did to reach Manchester United. So I just have to continue working hard and things will be all right for all of us.”
WOW.
