In last night’s match between Erik ten Hag’s team and Wolves, ANDRE ONANA made his Manchester United debut.

In a 1-0 victory, the former Inter Milan goalkeeper kept a clean sheet but was also part of a highly contentious incident.

Late in the game, with United ahead, Onana tackled Sasa Kalajdzic of Wolves in the penalty area.

After a VAR check, startled spectators watched as no penalty was assessed, saving Onana’s face.

Onana excelled in one more important area, despite the fact that his careless moment almost lost his new side two points.

Ten Hag, 53, was eager to replace dependable David de Gea in part because the Spaniard was unable to play effectively out from the back.

During last night’s game, Onana completed 38 passes. Only Brentford player David Raya averaged more than 38 passes per game last year. The Spaniard averaged 38.8 passes per game for the 2022–23 season before completing his transfer to Arsenal today.

De Gea, in contrast, only accomplished 28.5 per game. Despite Onana’s superior passing ability, United battled mightily to generate opportunities. Meanwhile, Wolves missed a number of fantastic opportunities.

When the game, manager Gary O’Neil, who replaced Julen Lopetegui when he was fired last week, fumed: “The keeper almost took our center-forward’s head off.”But I’m not really shocked that we missed out on it.

Both when I saw the replay and when I saw it live, I believed it to be a penalty.”It has to be a foul if you clatter into an adversary that forcefully. I am shocked beyond belief. Upon being asked by Sky Sports if he felt fortunate not to have given up a penalty, Onana responded, “No, absolutely not.

As a keeper, you must make decisions; occasionally, you are correct, and occasionally, you are not. I am in charge of everything because I chose to do anything.”I was cool since it was simply two large guys making contact. I was aware that nothing would occur there. When asked if he was sure there wouldn’t be a spot kick, he responded, “Of course I was confident.”
