• Andre Onana has become an indomitable force in the Manchester United defence
• The former Inter Milan goalkeeper had a difficult time adjusting to his new club
• Onana is leading the race for the Premier League Golden Glove award this term

Andre Onana has gone from villain to hero amongst Manchester United supporters this season after turning a frustrating campaign around to become one of the club’s trusted players.

The Cameroonian goalkeeper was always criticized by fans at the start of the season after conceding wave after wave of goals during the Red Devils abysmal run in the Premier League.

According to United In Focus, Onana has been one of Manchester United’s best and most consistent performers this season after a shaky start to life at Old Trafford and the Cameroonian shot-stopper has turned many doubters into firm believers in his abilities.

The Man United goalkeeper has conceded 61 goals in all competitions this season and was largely to blame for the club’s early exit from the UEFA Champions League after making some costly errors.

However, Onana has found a way to turn it all around for himself and Manchester United as the Red Devils push to finish the season in the top four.

How did Onana turn it around?

Onana is one of the Premier League’s most outstanding goalkeepers as the Manchester United goalie has kept eight clean sheets in the English top flight this season, GOAL reports.

The Cameroon goalie’s record looks particularly impressive when you consider that Erik ten Hag’s team has faced 467 shots as only Arsenal's David Raya (with nine) has kept more clean sheets.

Onana has been superb for Man United since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations as his saves kept the Red Devils afloat against Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Luton Town. And also helping United to a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest to reach the FA Cup quarter-finals.

Fans delighted with Onana’s performance

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Manchester United fans went into a frenzy after witnessing Onana’s 11th clean sheet of the season in the FA Cup victory over Nottingham Forest.

The Cameroonian singlehandedly propelled the Red Devils into the quarter-finals of football’s oldest competition after denying their opponents any glimpse of his goal throughout the game.

Despite facing criticism earlier in the season, Onana appears to be regaining the form that earned him the title of the best goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League last season.
