Andre Onana has maintained that he has a very good relationship with Harry Maguire, weeks after he berated the defender during the pre-season.

The Cameroonian joined Manchester United in the summer to replace David de Gea, who departed the club at the end of last season.

According to Express UK, Onana made an early impression during United's pre-season clash against Borussia Dortmund when he was caught on camera calling out Maguire for a sloppy pass from the centre-half.

The goalkeeper earned admiration from a section of fans with his actions, with some hailing him as the answer to United's goalkeeping challenges.
