Pep Guardiola speaks highly of Andre Onana as Man City set to face Manchester United

Pep Guardiola insists he has a “high opinion” of Manchester United‘s Andre Onana, who has struggled following his summer move.

The Cameroon international cost United nearly £50million as they opted to change their No.1, allowing David de Gea to leave when his contract ended. Onana endured a shaky debut against Wolves and has made several mistakes since which have cost his side.

He enjoyed his best moment to date in the week as he saved a stoppage-time penalty to deliver three points for United. Guardiola insists every player needs time to adapt to England’s top flight as his City side prepare to face Onana in Sunday’s derby.
