Mental coach offers to help struggling Manchester United star

Mental coach Marco Marchese insists Manchester United goalie, Andre Onana ‘struggles’ can be resolved.

The Cameroonian has come under heavy criticisms over a litany of errors since his arrival at club.

However, Marchese believes he needs support to overcome his poor start.

He said: “Onana was a very strong goalkeeper last year, among the three best in Serie A; he certainly hasn’t become poor in a short time now.

“But what has happened to him in these months? Now he is no longer able to cope with emotion, fear has taken over and he needs someone to help him deal with the situation.”

Marchese offered a glimpse into how he would work with the stopper to improve his performances and says managing his emotions is a key part of succeeding at the top level.

“A person to help manage your emotions and show the way forward I think is helpful. I hardly have a fixed plan, I work with goals; to show that I also believe in the person in front of me: if he fails, two of us will have failed,” says Marchese.

After just three clean sheets since his arrival, Onana will be desperate to return to the form which secured his €52.5million move to the club.

Onana hasn’t been helped by some questionable defending in front of him this season but has, himself, admitted he is unhappy with his start to life in Manchester.

Brentford visit Old Trafford this weekend and Onana will be hoping for the best, and to also keep a clean sheet.
