Andre Onana: Manchester United Goalkeeper Backs Marcus Rashford to Be FA Cup Final Hero

• Andre Onana has made a huge prediction ahead of the FA Cup final
• The Man United goalkeeper remains confident ahead of the City clash
• Man United endured a tough campaign in the just-ended EPL season

Manchester United goalkeeper, Andre Onana is backing striker Marcus Rashford to make the difference in the FA Cup final against Manchester City.

The Red Devils renew their rivalry with their neighbours on Saturday, May 25, at Wembley, with hopes of avenging the defeat suffered to the champions in the repeat of last season's FA Cup final.

Rashford, who was United's best player last season, has struggled to replicate the same form, which has seen him lose his position in the English team for Euro 2024.

However, heading into the final, Onana believes the English forward could be the hero for Manchester United.

"Rashford, how many goals did he score last season," he quizzed during an interview with ESPN. "How many goals has he scored this season," he asked again.

"We are talking about the same. Is he a bad player? So last season, he was good, this season he is bad. No, it's just about moments. You can have a bad season, you can have a bad start but the most important thing is how you end.

"Rashford for me is one of the best players in the world but he is facing difficulty like us, not only him and me but the club and he will come back and I know my killer will score some goals, some important goals and hopefully Saturday he will score two goals so we will win the FA Cup."
