Former Chelsea goalie tells Erik ten Hag how to deal with Andre Onana struggles at Manchester United

Former Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer has advised Manchester United boss Erik ten Hag to drop Andre Onana – just like Pep Guardiola axed Claudio Bravo at Manchester City.

The Cameroonian has made a disappointing start to his Manchester United. So far, he has conceded 19 goals in 11 games, and has been prone to errors.

Schwarzer, who made more than 500 Premier League appearances, thinks the Onana situation at United is similar to Bravo’s at City.

City boss Guardiola dropped the Chilean for Willy Caballero before eventually signing Ederson.

“It’s not a situation unique to him, and it reminds me a lot of when Claudio Bravo arrived at Manchester City,” Schwarzer said, as per The Mirror.

The former Chelsea goalkeeper added: “Bravo was used to playing the way Pep wanted to play. They knew each other very, very well and while he was a decent shot stopper, he was more known for his ability with his feet and playing out from the back.

“But the difficulty was Manchester City were not Barcelona. They played differently. City had a raft of new players for Bravo to get used to playing with too and they overplayed at times, made it unnecessarily complicated and made mistakes when pressed.

“And that’s where Bravo became caught out and his biggest strength turning into his biggest weakness, because he couldn’t use it. He became exposed for his goalkeeping, which was below the level of his ability with his feet. It’s the same with Onana.”

It remains to be seen if United boss Erik ten Tag will continue to back him or drop him for upcoming games after the international break.
