Ex-Manchester United defender, Steve Bruce has come out to sympathize with Andre Onana amid his woeful form for the club. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.
According to him, the reality is that the club’s goalkeepers would always struggle given the defensive issues at Old Trafford, so the mistakes are not unique to the Cameroon international.
Bruce added that MUFC defenders are simply not good enough to guarantee a clean sheet in any game.
His words, “You would hope it’s going to be a quiet night but I think we’ve watched United for a while now and you think ‘can the lad have a quiet night’? Are they defensively good enough? Not just the goalkeeper, we’re talking about them defensively now, are they good enough to go and keep a clean sheet to give yourself the platform that everybody wants to see?
It was a big call to leave him out, obviously he’s brought him back in, let’s hope it’s freshened him up and brought a bit of an edge to him. Undoubtedly he’s a talented goalkeeper but he’s like all the rest of them at the minute, they’re all having a tough time, and there’s nowhere more difficult to have a tough time than playing at Man United.”
WOW.
Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.
Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.
Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.
The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
