<\/p>\nOnana could not keep out Leroy Sane\u2019s effort <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Manchester United goalkeeper Andre Onana has admitted that his error cost his side in their 4-3 loss to Bayern Munich in the Champions League.<\/p>\n
Erik Ten Hag\u2019s side had started the game well, but fell behind in the 28th minute when Leroy San\u00e9\u2019s tame effort from outside of the box was palmed in by the United goalkeeper.<\/p>\n
The drawback deflated the away side, who quickly conceded a second when Jamal Musiala\u2019s brilliant play led to him teeing up Serge Gnabry to cooly slot home.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s difficult. We started very good. After my mistake we lost control of the game,\u201d Onana told TNT Sports following the match.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe team were one down because of that mistake. I have to learn from it and be strong. I\u2019m happy with the comeback of the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a lot to prove. My start in Manchester hasn\u2019t been so good, not how I want. This was one of my worst games. We have big ambitions.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a tough time. We have to be together and work hard.\u201d<\/p>\n
Manchester United did manage to provide themselves with a lifeline however, with Casemiro\u2019s two late goals meaning The Red Devils can head to Old Trafford only losing by a single goal.<\/p>\n
Onana hasn\u2019t enjoyed the best of starts since moving to the Premier League side in the summer, the David De Gea replacement also being criticised for his attempt to stop Nottingham Forest\u2019s opener a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n
Only two sides in the division have conceded more goals than United, who are currently in the midst of an injury crisis in the defence department.<\/p>\n
Analysing the match for TNT Sports, former Manchester United defender Rio Ferdinand said he appreciated Onana\u2019s frank post-match interview, but criticised the goalkeepers overall performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cI respect that,\u201d Ferdinand said. I\u2019ve lost games and made mistakes and refused to speak to the media at times. That showed good character and showed he\u2019s made of the right stuff.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s as confident as you like with his feet, but as a goalkeeper, you\u2019re paid to come in and make saves.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe should save it, it is meat and drink for him. He should be picking this up and looking for his next pass. It\u2019s a very, very bad mistake and one that he needs to recover from.\u201d<\/p>\n
