Although it wouldn’t have helped, Andre Onana was more than willing to accept responsibility for Manchester United’s 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich.

The summer transfer from Inter Milan cost £47.2 million. He was responsible for the opening goal in a nail-biting group match at the Allianz Arena and was seen leaving with his head in his hands.

It didn’t go well for the Cameroonian, who has had 14 shots go into his goal in just six games, putting pressure on both his defense and himself.

For the first time since 1978, the Red Devils have given up three or more goals in each of three straight games, and Onana felt solely accountable on this specific occasion.

“It’s challenging. We got off to a great start,” the 27-year-old said to TNT Sports. “As a result of my error, we lost the game. It’s a challenging scenario for us, especially for me because I let the team down.

“Due to that error, the team was down one.

“I have to learn from it, be strong, and move on,” he continued. I’m thrilled with the team’s comeback.

I have a lot to demonstrate. I haven’t had a great start in Manchester, and that’s not what I wanted. One of my worst games was this one. We have lofty goals.

It’s a difficult time. We must cooperate and put in a lot of effort.

Onana’s level of candor was striking, and Rio Ferdinand praised him for it, expressing his “respect” for the shot-stopper’s remarks and the “character” that was on exhibit.

Ten Hag was eager to inject some reality into his troops after he heard Onana’s brutally honest remarks shortly after the game.

The Dutchman remarked, “It’s good he’s doing that, but it’s about the team.” “Mistakes are made, but you must recover as a team.

“If one player commits a mistake, the entire game is over. As a team, we have to have confidence that we can always recover. Tonight we demonstrated it.

Next up for United is a trip to newly promoted Burnley that is clearly winnable, where a fourth straight loss might be terrible.

“Each game has significance. Every game is important,” Ten Hag said. We must generate our own luck. No one can assist you.

“Remain in the game and prevent the opposition from scoring. It’s not about a single error. The player had the shot far too easily.

“Only our team—me included—can accomplish this. We hold it; no one else does.
