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.
The reason why Erik Ten Hag refused to bench Onana is that Erik Ten Hag made David De Gea leave Manchester United and thought that Onana would perform better than David De Gea, but since Onana has been performing poorly since he arrived at Manchester United, Erik Ten Hag will not want people to criticize him for letting David De Gea leave, so Erik Ten Hag will keep on starting Onana in every Manchester United match.
