Manchester United legend, Peter Schmeichel has suggested that goalkeeper, Andre Onana is losing his teammates’ trust after he made another error that led to Brentford scoring on Saturday during both teams’ Premier League tie at Old Trafford.
Manchester United came from behind to beat Brentford 2-1, thanks to Scott McTominay’s brace.
However, the result could have been very different after Mathias Jensen had given Brentford the lead in the 26th minute.
The Bee midfielder got a shot away on goal following a Casemiro mistake, but Onana was unable to keep the low shot out.
Speaking to Premier League Productions, Schmeichel criticised Onana’s technique;
He said, “The goalkeeper is not covering himself in glory in that one. My theory here is he’s just lifting up. He’s not setting off.
“His arm is coming up to go down, whereas, as a goalkeeper you learn to dive along the around for the ball, you don’t go up to come down.
“We saw the same mistake against Bayern Munich, and I noticed the same thing. He just kind of lifts himself instead of actually diving and moving towards the ball.”
He added, “I spoke to him after the other Champions League match against Galatasaray as well. He’s very down on the mistakes he’s made.
“And now he’s upset the whole team. Now, they will even more not trust him, and my god, it’s not good.”
Onana has struggled to fill David de Gea’s shoes since joining Manchester United from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.
