Andre Onana sends message to Man Utd team-mates over performance vs Liverpool

With goalie Andre Onana maintaining a clean sheet against a team that defeated United seven times the previous season, Manchester United secured a crucial point on Sunday away to Liverpool.

Andre Onana maintains that even after earning a crucial point away at Liverpool, Manchester United still needs to strive to win every game.

Prior to the trip to Anfield, United suffered more setbacks when Harry Maguire was hurt and Bruno Fernandes was suspended; nevertheless, they managed to hold on for a goalless draw. After consecutive losses to Bayern Munich and Bournemouth, the outcome put an end to United’s losing streak. It was also a step up from the visitors’ 7-0 humiliation in the match back in March.

On Sunday, Liverpool dominated the majority of the big opportunities, but United also had chances to win all three points and occasionally threatened. Onana’s first clean sheet since the end of November helped United earn their first league draw of the season, but he has bigger goals in mind.

The Cameroon international said MUTV, “We want to win against every opponent we play because we are Manchester United, one of the biggest clubs in the world.” “We fight together, we have one point, and we have a lot of character and personality, but it’s not enough.

“We must aim to win the match. Sadly, we didn’t. Higher standards are required. We must go to win, regardless of who we play.”

With one point, United is now seventh in the league heading into their match against West Ham on Saturday. After defeating Wolves on Sunday, the London team, led by former United manager David Moyes, defeated Erik ten Hag’s team the previous season and are currently only one point behind.

Onana continued, “You know when you come to Anfield, it will be great going home with the three points.” “However, as I previously stated, winning the game is more crucial than keeping a clean sheet.

“Obviously, it was a difficult game, but you have to win to be a member of this large club. We didn’t have many opportunities to score, but we did have some.

Therefore, we must now look forward rather than just focus on getting ready for the upcoming games because it is insufficient. We need to take on much more.

On Sunday, Liverpool took 34 shots, which is more than any other Premier League team has done in a match this year. Perhaps as a result, home manager Jurgen Klopp wasn’t overly irritated by the short-term harm done to his team’s chances of winning the championship.

“With that number of finishes a few more should have been on target,” Klopp stated. “There were a few things I enjoyed, but there should have been more. With this group, the counterpressing was the best; the intensity and the start were perhaps the best of our career.

We have a lot of information today, which is good, but it also hurts. We now need to resolve the situations. In certain instances, we attempted long-range shots when a player was likely in a better position.”
