"Erik ten Hag has eulogised on Onana’s ability to play the ball long and short. He’s on the ball more than David de Gea, his passing accuracy is better, and his higher number of shorter passes show he is more confident. "Onana has almost got every pass you would want in his locker which De Gea never had. If you want to be a top club your goalkeeper has to play with his feet."Gary Nevillle then spoke about the five United players that would have to excel were they to try challenge Manchester City for their title.
"But realistically, looking at where Arsenal are and how they have recruited this summer, and looking how established Manchester City are, I think it would be unrealistic and harsh to say Manchester United should be competing for the title. "For that to happen, Antony would have to explode this season, Marcus Rashford would have to hit the same numbers, and Rasmus Hojlund, Mason Mount and Andre Onana would have to hit the ground straight away. That is difficult; Hojlund is young, Onana has taken the most pressurised job in English football – Manchester United goalkeeper.""I still think third and trophy would be success," Neville added, "but I understand where the pressure comes from after their spending under Erik ten Hag."
