The new Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana isn't afraid to express his opinions to his teammates.
The successor for David De Gea, who Manchester United paid £43.9 million for, is anticipated to have a greater impact on a club that has often had trouble playing out from the back. However, it looks the goalie is not just influencing Erik ten Hag's style of play but also holding his teammates accountable.
In the 3-2 loss to Borussia Dortmund, Tom Heaton was replaced by Onana, who entered the game at halftime. And three minutes later, he received a summons to duty.
Onana was enraged with his defense for giving up the chance after making a fantastic one-on-one save against Sebastian Haller by going low to his left. Especially Harry Maguire was the target of his rage.
The Cameroonian ran a good seven yards to give the England international a piece of his mind because he was so furious about his error. Maguire took his new teammate's yelling without much of a backlash and absorbed his criticism.
The goalie has every reason to complain. Although a striker is obviously not present, United's offense has been showing promise throughout preseason. However, the defense has been particularly sloppy, mistake-filled, and careless in the previous two games.
It was the same against Dortmund. Despite dominating the first half for 41 minutes, United trailed 2-1 at the intermission. Karim Adeyemi was attempted to be stopped by Brandon Williams, who failed miserably. Donyell Malen, who had to work hard to get the ball, stroked Heaton with his finish.
Sebastian Haller scored the winning goal for Dortmund to earn a 3-2 victory despite goals from Diogo Dalot and Antony to tie the game at 2-2.
