The football legend of the Netherlands, Edwin van der Sar, defended the Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana, who has been a target of criticism.

According to the celebrity, the African player is not a failure and can solidly defend the goal.

"Andre spent five years at Ajax and did an incredible job there after arriving from the Barcelona youth team.

He earned a contract with Inter Milan, with whom he played in the UEFA Champions League final.

However, it hasn’t been easy for him to adapt to the English league and a team with a different style.

I know the player's capabilities – I trained with Andre. He is mentally strong, and he needs time and confidence. I am convinced that A. Onana will become a top-level goalkeeper for Manchester United next season,” explained E. van der Sar.
