Andre Onana is determined to overcome the difficult time at Man United after coming to Old Trafford to replace the position left by David De Gea.

Andre Onana has built a reputation in Europe and was the top star of Inter Milan in the season when the Serie A representative surprisingly reached the UEFA Champions League final.

The goalkeeper arrived at Old Trafford last summer in a £60m deal, but the Cameroonian's start in the Premier League has not been smooth.

Onana was heavily criticized after a series of mistakes at the beginning of the season with a particularly poor performance in the Champions League in a MU shirt. Since returning from AFCON 2024, Onana seems to be in much better form.

Recently, the 27-year-old goalkeeper shared about his difficulties at Old Trafford with the Daily Mail, right before the big battle with Man City at the Etihad: "It took me six or seven months of not playing well, just to feel comfortable." roof".

“It was a difficult time for me. I feel a little better now because everything is new. I find it difficult to feel like MU feels at home for many reasons, a new country."

“But now I feel fine. I don't want to talk about my performance because I know I'm a goalkeeper and I've done more than what I just did. So for me, the most important thing is to be ready, to be happy and I will shine," the former Ajax player continued.

Andre Onana is in good form and is very confident before the match against Man City. 

Onana also made it clear that he believes he has become more mature and stable, capable of taking on the number 1 position in Man United's squad.

“I think I've had a turning point, but not necessarily on the field because like I said, mentally it's better because everything is different. Of course, last season I moved from Amsterdam (Ajax) to Milan, but that adaptation was quite easy."

"But it took me seven, eight months here. It's just time to learn and play match by match. I hope we finish at the top."

Besides, Onana thanked both fans and teammates for sticking with him during the dark moments at the beginning of the season: "They always believed in me, from the beginning they told me 'Andre, Listen, the quality is there, it's just a matter of time," he said.

"I am very happy, especially with my supporters. They have treated me well even in difficult times and I am very grateful. I can only thank them."

"I think everything is behind me. Now we have to move on and I think together a wonderful time will come."
