Away we go. Manchester United are back on the road in the Premier League seeking a cure to the travel sickness that blighted their 2022-23 season.
How the Manchester United players are reacting to Andre Onana demands
04.08.2023 - 16:01 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Andre Onana and his demanding presence between the posts will only be a positive for Manchester United - and the players will enjoy it.
That's the message from ex-United defender, David May, as the club's number one continues to adjust to his new teammates and vice versa following his summer move from Inter Milan as a replacement for long-serving David De Gea. De Gea, 32, has waved goodbye to Old Trafford after 12 seasons.
Onana, 27, is well known to Erik ten Hag from their Ajax days with the Cameroon stopper having played under him for almost three years. It means Ten Hag is better placed than most to understand what Onana will bring to United.

It's not only Onana's ability to play from the back that has caught the eye, though, with one seething summer rant towards Harry Maguire outlining his demanding persona. Naturally, it has led to comparisons with legendary United figure, Peter Schmeichel, and May reckons that characteristic will only help the squad progress.
May, speaking about the goalkeeping situation on MUFC show The Debate, said: "Probably, yeah, from Schmeichel [having PTSD]. What it does do is keep you on your toes.
"What you want from your goalkeeper is someone barking out orders that put you in the right position, talk to you and [Andre] Onana does that. You saw after five or six minutes, he's out there on the edge of his area rollocking the two centre-halves [against Borussia Dortmund] and that can only be a good thing.
"I don't think the players do enough of that, having a go at each other. I think it's healthy keeping everyone on their toes and Onana will be the epitome of that from a defensive point of view."
