Onana, Manchester United's goalkeeper, did not perform well when playing for Cameroon at AFCON in the round 2 group c match. Cameroon then lost 3-1 against Senegal.
In the third group c match between Gambia vs Cameroon, Onana was benched and Ondoha was entrusted with the goalkeeper position in the ongoing match.
The Cameroon coach realized after seeing and assessing Onana's abilities when they lost against Senegal and Rigobert Song didn't want Cameroon to lose again by placing Onana as the main goalkeeper against Gambia.
My question is, why is Erik ten Hag too confident in Onana to guard Manchester United's goal, who often makes mistakes when Manchester United play?
There is no valid answer because in almost all Manchester United matches, Erik ten Hag always plays Onana as the main choice.
Without Onana, Cameroon won against Gambia and Cameroon qualified for the next round with Senegal who were group winners.
Ondoa played well based on the statistics he obtained and this is far from Onana's statistics when Cameroon lost to Senegal.
ten Hag will watch and assess Manchester United's second goalkeeper during the FA Cup match. If it is still possible, ten Hag will look at and assess the second goalkeeper again when Manchester United plays Wolves. The second goalkeeper's statistics will be comparable to Onana by him.
Tactic adopted by Erik ten Hag was the main reason for picking Onana as Man Utd first choice goalkeeper which is based on Onana ability to use both feet perfectly and his ability to launch counterattack with quick passes as well as starting a build up from the back, I believe he possessed all those qualities right from Ajax a club formerly manager by Erik ten Hag, though is consistently prone to mistakes, however at the country level the Cameroon manager has his own tactic or style of play which might not necessary or compulsory play Onana as their goalkeeper as a matter of fact they only needed a goal stopper who would get their needed result.
