Andre Onana came on for the second half of our 3-2 defeat against Borussia Dortmund in Las Vegas, replacing Tom Heaton at the interval.
Our new goalkeeper was seen giving Harry Maguire a talking to after the former captain was out of position which resulted in Dortmund having a shot on goal.
Speaking to MUTV after the game, Onana reflected on the interaction.
I try to talk to them a lot because I know he’s a good player, he is one of the captains of the the team. That’s big and he is good with the ball, so I would demand [from] him a lot and he’s a good, great guy. I have a good relationship with him. I have to be and he has to be ready and I spoke with him because when I’m in the goal, I demand to everyone a lot.
I will start with myself because I think we are in this together and mistakes will come,” he added. “We don’t have to be afraid to make mistakes because this is part of life and we learn from the mistakes.
So we have to be very critical with ourselves. And if we want to win prizes, we have to demand a lot. And for me, it’s a big honour to be here and I’m very happy to work with these guys, Harry is a top guy and a fantastic player. We will move on.
I demand a lot of my team-mates because also they demand a lot, they trust in me. They play a lot of balls back to me, so I have to give them confidence and I want my players to give them to me to give me confidence.
I demand [from] them a lot and I will demand from them a lot because they are great players. Now, for me, it’s a big honour to play with these defenders. With Martinez, Harry they are doing great things. They are important players for the club. I’m very happy to be part of this team and playing with them is something great.
