André Onana had a howler in last nights Champions League clash against Bayern Munich. Sane had an effort from outside the box which looked a couple catch for Onana but he spilled it which resulted in the opening goal of the game.

The Man Utd goalkeeper told TNT Sport: “It’s difficult to lose this way as we started very good but after my mistake we lost control of the game.

“It’s a difficult situation for us, and me, as I let the team down. The team was really good but it was because of me we didn’t win this game.

“I’m happy for the work of the team but we have to move on – that is the life of a goalkeeper. We didn’t win today because of me.

“Their first shot on target, I made a mistake, so the team went down because of that mistake. I have to learn, be strong and move on although it’s not an easy situation. I’m happy with the comeback of the team, we were fighting until the end.

“I have a lot to prove. My start in Manchester has not been good or how I want. The way I played today was one of my worst games.

“It’s difficult as we are a big club who wants to win everything. It was a good opportunity to bounce back after the situation we are facing – it’s a tough time, we have to be together and continue to work hard.”

Erik Ten Hag found it encouraging Onana took responsibility. He said: “It’s good he’s doing that [owning the mistake] but it’s about the team. Mistakes can be made but you need to bounce back as a team.

“When you score three goals and one player makes a mistake, it’s gone. We have to believe we can bounce back, tonight we showed it. You have to stay in the game and keep going despite mistakes.

“For the first 25 minutes, we were better than Munich. Then, that goal was so easy. It’s not only Andre, if you see how easy Sane is coming through and that has to do with determination. You don’t let players so easily through. That’s the point we have to cross the line as undefeatable and as a team to win games because it started there.”
